Hi Bob and Otis,
I'm very interested in this idea because I'm always being asked "when will
there be a ChemTube3D app?" but I'm not sure what an app can do that a web site
can't do just as well (or better).
Assuming the content that could be pulled down from suitable web sites included
structures, graphics, script commands, my killer question would be how could
our image map method of loading different structures/causing animations to
occur be replicated. A simple example of a typical page that runs on iPad
already….
http://138.253.125.70/~ng/JSmolPlayground/jsmol/playgroundDA.html?USE=HTML5
Of course if you could build in You Tube like ranking of pages and suggested
examples that would be neat. I've always wanted to do that for our pages but
never known how to do it.
Best regards
Nick

Bob,
OK, I'll get this started from a page developers view. I certainly agree with
your analysis of the Jmol success formula, and I like the Jmol app concept. In
some ways, I'm a mobile device cynic, but my colleague Tom and my
granddaughters are slowly changing this view. That's why I'm trying to make
JSmol model kit iPad functional in a browser.
I think I like your "One idea," but I don't fully understand it.
I'll add this. Tom and I were playing around with the idea of a model based
iBook, and I pretty much gave up on the idea because of the dismal state of
model display in iBooks. It was a lot of work to simply see the "pretty
molecule spin." It would be nice to have a serious (scriptable) model display
window either in an iBook or easily accessible to an iBook reader - e.g.
browser based.
The "easily accessible" in browser format carries a strength that IN an iBook
does not. 1) It would be usable with (as opposed to IN) iBooks and eBooks
across a range of mobile devices. 2) You are not constrained by Apple's rules
and control. I, personally, really don't like the latter issues.
