And the SDK includes a simulator so those of you who have not yet bought an iPhone can still work on iChimera. Doug On Mar 11, 2008, at 7:56 AM, Tom Ferrin <tef@cgl.ucsf.edu> wrote:
The iPhone SDK was announced last week. Turns out the iPhone includes a lot of the same OS layers as does the Mac. I didn't see anything about Python, but there is a hardware accelerated OpenGL ES in there. Also the standard set of development tools (interface builder, xcode, etc) and a package called "Instruments" that let's you capture on a Mac lots of execution trace information on the iPhone via an interface cable. One novel user interface component: the iPhone includes a 3D accelerometer with software interface. The video I watched showed a shoot-em-up space wars game where you steered by moving the phone around. Someone is bound to come up with an interactive molecular viewer; I suspect Warren DeLano is working on Pymol right now.
