We now have an IPhone in-house, and are getting one of the new 3G iPod
Touches.
The FreeWRL/FreeX3D needs a bit of re-coding to support OpenGL-ES
(and, OpenGL-3.1). This has been on-going as a "second priority" task
for a while now. I expect that after our Windows port is out and
running well, and the HTML5 work is well in hand, then work will start
in earnest on porting FreeWRL/FreeX3D to such devices.
It has been interesting reading through the development docs; and our
resident "human interface" expert (Dr. Sylvie Noel) has been integral
in pushing for the iPhone/iPod Touch in-house.
I will not give an estimated timeframe; lets just see what happens by
the new year.
