Yes I think that is the aim. If Stellarium gets ported to an Ipad I will go and buy one. But at the moment an Ipad is just a "toy" for me and I have other things to get first.

Fabien's contract with the ESO finished in June and I think he is between jobs. I think he has ideas of a comercial version of "stellapad" ? to maybe make some money out of his years of effort. I wish him luck!
