QuteMol an opensource molecular model viewer that would alow me to visualize Protein Database Structures on the Playbook and display them out via HDMI. I need more scientific apps not games.
Here is a link to more such programs if anyone is interested:
I'm a layman, so I don't know whether these would meet your requirements / not, but a good pdf reader is something that the playbook needs and maybe you could port sumatra
I'll happily port your apps if they don't depend on external libraries.
if the library itself is open, could you compile the library along with the main program? (forgive my ignorance, I don't know of these things and I'm just using what little knowledge I have to ask)
Yes, you can compile and include external libraries. They are usually quite large and include platform specific code so they will be considerably more difficult.
I will check out those listed apps.
Edit:Sumatra is a windows app. QuteMol depends on wx. QuteMol would be achievable by replacing wx or porting wx - not that huge.

VLC depends on external libraries -- namely Photon/Qt.
Once Qt is ported, 1000s upon 1000s of apps can be recompiled to work on Playbook -- VLC being one of them.
Is it true that standard QNX has Qt support but 1) it hasn't been compiled for ARM and 2) it hasn't been compiled to support libscreen (which we need to get pretty windows).
R is a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics. It compiles and runs on a wide variety of UNIX platforms, Windows and MacOS. To download R, please choose your preferred CRAN mirror. Its also bult for CLI but does have GUI available
Its a console/browser ui app
Bacula is a set of Open Source, enterprise ready, computer programs that permit you (or the system administrator) to manage backup, recovery, and verification of computer data across a network of computers of different kinds. Bacula is relatively easy to use and efficient, while offering many advanced storage management features that make it easy to find and recover lost or damaged files. In technical terms, it is an Open Source, enterprise ready, network based backup program.

Hmmm Xsacha you know your stuff! Would love for them to port Qt so VLC could be available!
The Playbook comes with a ssh app. It just needs a UI.
And Marc Paradise (author of BBSSH) is already working on it. He just won't be able to post anything about the project until the NDA period for the current NDK closed beta is over.
so the next question is, who do we turn to for help in porting qt?
Already looking into what it would take, and all the details of how I would do it, and I'm confident I should be able to publish something pretty soon after the NDK is actually available to the public.
I'd love Barry
thought it requires USB host mode to be enabled.
Although I wouldn't be surprised if RIM used Barry as the core of Blackberry Desktop Manager for playBook (or, a version that runs on the PlayBook). It'd be easier than recompiling the current bdm; providing Barry isn't bloated.
