> Kassewitz searched for nearly two years to find a touchscreen device that dolphins could reliably activate with their rostrum (or beak), while still being powerful enough to record or play back the high frequency sounds associated with dolphin language and durable enough to work in underwater environments.
If someone had faith in this area of research, you'd think they would have been able to find funding for the construction of a specialized device in that time frame.
- MWinther 16y agoIsn't it cool that you won't have to anymore, though? The Objective-C requirement for native apps might still be a problem in a lot of places, but other than that, I can see the iPad being a relatively cheap platform that could work well for various kinds of experiments going forward.
- stcredzero 16y agoOnly a matter of time before someone comes up with a way to install Linux on it. (There's already someone who's put Android on an iPhone 2G.)
- timknauf 16y agoIIRC, the Objective-C (plus C and C++) limitation is only for apps distributed through the App Store. Presumably ad-hoc distribution is just fine for this type of project. :^)
