For the very first (and, hopefully, only) time, I’m sorry I’m not an Apple guy. The Japan Space Elevator Association has just released a Space Elevator app for the iPAD. The graphic shown in the picture is the cover of a booklet that Mr. Shigeo Saito of the JSEA wrote & released a year or two ago (I have a copy somewhere, but can’t lay my hands on it at the moment).
The URL describing it doesn’t say much about the app other than “…can watch a movie of the Japan Space Elevator technology competition 2009…”.
This is bittersweet news for me. I’ve been working on my own SE app – this for the Android and some other tablets, but the JSEA beat me to it. Congratulations Shigeo Saito & JSEA and if anyone wants to spend the 99 cents for it and play it on their iPAD, please write me up a quick review that I can post here and share with everyone…
cant wait for your droid app.
Its an informational e-book with video, judging from the google translation. Its also in english.

What was your “App” going to be, Ted?
A video game? That’s my idea.
