How many times you ask same question? I already said you that you can't access database while restoring ? In enterprise edition in SQL server 2005 you can have online restore but i donno if it works with log shipping.? Read BOL.

User may access secondary db before or after log restoring, not in middle of restoring.

you can delay restoring in Logshipping and run at certain times in Log shipping but you won't get updated infomation.
