I am aware of how people use them for reading literature = and books, but I wonder whether anybody has tried to get graphics = applications like PyMOL (or even modeling packages) to use the iPad as a = front-end. I have seen an iX11 application, but this would require both X11 and = OpenGL (menus and graphics). I would think the iPad could perform at = least as well as a 4-5 year old PC, which can run the stuff directly as = well as act as a head. What app(s) are required to do this? Pointers welcome! Thanks in advance!
