The iPads only have stereo capability, you can't get 5.1 surround from them.

Incorrect.
Most movies in the iTunes Store come with a 5.1 Dolby surround Sound audio track . The iPad itself uses the stereo sound track instead, but if you connect the iPad to an appropriate receiver through an AV Adapter you can use the 5.1 Surround Sound track with a home theater setup.
