Although, for now, no decisions have been taken, I do feel that we have to provide (only?) a web interface, in the form of a rich HTML5 internet application.
There's not many (if any) scientific internet applications: Well, something with 3D and 2D plotting facilities and a scripting console for math operations (a restricted/safe ipython console being the ideal). Looking forward for suggestions :)

There's a great presentation about this topic available on the Business Insider web site:

And I though Java was easier and more intuitive than ObjectC !?!?!?!
Android version fragmentation appears to be the source of the problems..
For the capitalists out there, the cross-platform revenue is 3 times higher with iOS than with Android: `"iOS is where the money is"!
I do believe that we will all be using a browser and HTML5 in future. Well, let's see!
