This is where things enter into the odd world of academia. In all honesty,<br>
I think our application for the particular grant that was available was an<br>
"outlier". The grant came with caveats. Projects were to target technology<br>
that would likely be used by faculty and students and the resulting work<br>
(publications or, in our case, software) would be released under open<br>
licenses. As far as I could tell, ours was the only project that was<br>
producing actual software. We were able to pay the Apple Dev fee for one<br>
year from our funds but our application wasn't ready for distribution<br>
within that time so we never submitted it to the app store and have<br>
released the source code instead. We were never big fans of distributing it<br>
through the app store anyway.<br>

Well I guess the target platform is jail-broken Apples then.<br>
<br>
Re academia ... I spent the last few years studying in an Australian university, maths and computing ... the students were a reasonable mix of linux, mac and windows users, not sure about the android/iOS split, while the staff and teaching had a somewhat stronger emphasis on linux and open source than the students. Matlab was the main exception to this.<br>
<br>
As a target platform android certainly has a much bigger user base worldwide than jail-broken iOS, though the apples may be much better for some audio uses.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
