No. To protect the end user, the fah client is only available for download from the Project Servers at Stanford.

Although new outside the box ideas like that are good. Keep them coming.

I think the OP was refering to the possibility of an iPhone version of FAH. :lol:

Even if there was a way to fold on a iphone (there isnt, it's slow and the battery woul;d last 10 minutes) it would be 6-8 years before it would get toi the store, there are a million developers waiting to have their apps blessed by Apple. We also download cores, and that's forbidden.

How about an app that describes FAH and what it does and how you would go about to get it?
It doesn't have to fold anything.

Sure, why not. But Apple would never approve it. Like I said, not gonna happen.

er...a molecule game then? LOL!

Hey, they have astronomy and "electron cloud" atomic graphics simulator's. These don't necessarily promote the iLife style if that's what you are thinking is the standard. But they fall under educational.

Believe it or not there is a popular "light-saber" application that lets you make noises by swinging the iPhone arround. If something as silly as that can make it in... :lol:

Seems like you should make a game then, and promote F@h.
