There is a new platform to run Linux applications on the Apple IPad. Have you noticed that many stock applications which are free on Linux require payment on the IPhone and IPad? Don’t want to re-implement Linux software on IOS ? QMole is a new desktop system allowing the free operation of software ported from the world of Linux on the IPad. The technology enables retaining a touch screen operation of stock GTK Linux applications without requiring their redesign or reimplementation. Unlike remote desktop solutions that require a network connection, QMole requires none. All “Linux” applications execute locally on iPad, just like native IOS applications.
QMole features a tiling window manager, transparency, virtual desktop support and an initial desktop application bundle combined with support for developing in Lisp, C, C++, Java, Clojure, Lua, Scheme, OCaml, Python, Perl and more.
