      I just got a new HP Touchpad.
      I really miss not having SU on it. 😒
      So without belaboring the merits of any one pad or OS over another,
      I make this suggestion. πŸ’­ πŸ˜„

      We need a pad based version of SU, but with obvious limitations. 😍

      It should be primarily a DISPLAY only version, with no or limited editing of text only.

      Pads are finger touch only, no mouse or KB, which you need to edit models. There are pads that have a Bluetooth connection and I suppose you could connect a BT mouse and KB (or an OEM mouse & KB) to allow editing, but this remains to be seen, as the graphics engines on the pads as well as the processors are lacking in power and speed. Foregoing entity editing would allow a significantly stripped down SU that should run on a pad.

      So basically, allow the pad to display a model, pan & zoom, set layers on/off, and of course do Scene animation. Just no entity editing or creation. Editing text items are OK, such as Layer names etc.

          I just looked at that thread, and yeah, same request as mine. It will be interesting how it turns out.
          So this thread is considered closed. β˜€
