Hi Thomas, Although I have no use for the iPad version I can answer your questions as if for an Android version.
In my experience most people have quite a '2D' approach to molecular design, due to a lifetime of learning via lectures, journals and textbooks. Very often I find myself wishing I could show them a 3D representation of whatever it is we're talking about, without having to always lug my laptop around with me. So I would use it both for teaching and for aiding scientific discussion during project meetings, and also to aid in my thinking processes when I'm presented with dead time (e.g. on trains, planes etc.). I think under those circumstances some reduced functionality (esp. in the fanciness of graphics, moveiemaking etc.) wouldn't be a problem (although I'd want to keep all the Builder functions, including Sculpt and Clean). I would be willing to pay for it (in fact I would get the University to buy an Institute license so everyone, including students, could use it). cheers, Doug Quoting Thomas Holder <thomas.hol...@schrodinger.com> on Mon, 13 Oct 2014 18:21:14 -0400: > Hi Doug, > > to answer your question, Schrödinger is not working on an Android > version of PyMOL and we don't have plans to start this any time soon. > > But we are happy to collect feedback that will help us prioritize an > Android port.
