Jmol is now portable to the iPad. In principle, at least. The Android port
shows that. But really, developing for the iPad is to develop something
very different in behavior to what you have now, and I think there are
different solutions, then, for that. You can't just take something like
Jmol and expect it to 'run' on the iPad. What you want is something with
the look and feel of an iPad. lots of gestures, no keyboard to speak of,
just the essentials.
With all the other cheaper options out there, I'm sorry to see high
schools are jumping for another round of Apple-ware. Funny how all the
schools i've been in lately are filled with Windows machines even though a
few years ago it was all Mac. I wonder why.....
