I'd love to see Wolfram's port of their CDF player for the iPad 3 announcement:

  • Wolfram has announced that the player was coming soon at least 5 months ago (I noted it in another MR thread back in early October).
  • Wolfram's visualization tool is a new kind of app for tablet computers. It would use the computational resources of the iPad well.
  • Some of the CDF demonstrations would look gorgeous on the high-resolution display.
  • Apple has had a close relationship with Wolfram.
CDF could be a "killer app" for mathematics, chemistry, physics, and other technical courses. Students could run the simulations on their own iPads.
