I must thank Stephen for the two brilliant comments shown below - Theodore Gray, Esq, we salute you, sir!

Well, although as the creator of periodictable.com I would never say anything against it, it's really not right to say it is "the same" as the iPad version. The iPad experience is just, well, different.

The same beautiful Periodic Table is also on the web at periodictable.com

You can also get this on the PC!!! Via the internet at http://periodictable.com/ - so maybe for those of us who can't get an iPAD yet, there's still a way to improve our science!

Dear lord, that's...incredible! What a fabulous app! The picture's brilliant...no idea who Tom Lehrer is though! :-)

My husband (chemist) is drooling over photo! Never saw him in this condition, btw

Wow, can't wait for Hitchhikers Guide to appear as an interactive book. With your voice too.

Now that could come in handy! :D

Did I understand right, it has Tom Lehrer as a soundtrack? Stunning.

My late mother, the industrial chemist, teacher, and Luddite would have been converted to all things Apple by this one app. Sorry you missed it, Mom.

as a chemist all I can say is sweeeeeetttt!!!!!

Now THAT is AuSOMn!

Is the periodic table only available to the ipad (which I thought they weren't going to do...) Can't find it on the app store and I *need* this :0)

have absolutely no use nor need of one, but hey, what does that matter, apple are driving from the backseat and i want one

Yeah, VERY cool

very cool!

Love it.

Father Jack's ear wax on your Ipad now

That's gorgeous.

Wowwee wow!
