I was wondering, with all the hoopla and fanfare reguarding the new Apple iPad: | |

Doubtful as Apple doesn't allow non-proprietary applications to run on its hardware. Besides, you don't just need a Seti app, but a ported BOINC as well. | |

I see the mayor problems with the battery live and overheating, as on all mobile devices. | |

One can become an Apple developer just signing up. I am one in order to get access to development documents. The big problems is that Boinc applications are hard on a laptop and would be destructive on a Ipad or Iphone. Boinc would kill battery life and would generate a large amount of heat that could shorten the live of the processor and the battery. I run a Power Mac G5 which is server grade hardware which handles Boinc without problems as long as I keep the dust cleaned out of it. If I neglect cleaning then the heat can cause my computer problems. | |
