Sounds great, but would be better on something with a better (ie more readable) screen. The application needs to be device agnostic.

If these guys can come through with the goods, it would be ideal: http://www.notionink.in/

Make it a HTML or something app so people with other devices (windows, android tablets/ereaders) can make use of it. (perhaps an idea for a startup would be a website/program that lets content producers create these without HTML knowledge. That is, a builder for interactive HTML5 based text books.)



The platform was actually designed to be device agnostic - the content is expressed in X(HT)ML.

The iPad is our first target device because Apple did tablets right. You'll have to wait to see what comes next :)


Oh I see, I just saw the link to the app store and assumed.. So you are saying that it is easily ported to other devices, but still requires a native application? What requirements stop you from making it an online thing, that people could use with their home computers as well? Or is it just a personal preference?

Nevertheless I like the site and the idea.
