GIMP app?

Hello all,

Does Gimp have an apple application version yet? If not, do they plan on coming out with one? I am considering buying a tablet such as the iPad, but one of the main features I will be looking for is the ability to use as a graphics tablet. I understand that there are tablets specifically designed for this purpose, however, I also want to be able to use other apps such as Facebook, email, wi-fi, netflix, etcetera. I do NOT want to have to purchase two separate tablets! I already have a Mac, iPhone and iPod, so I figure I should stick with apple products for smoother continuity between them. I just want to be able to work on projects on the go, and also be able to use the stylus rather than a mouse to do them, rather than waiting until I am home and doing them on my Mac. Also if an app is created, it should be fully functional (i.e. creating layers, everything). Thank for your time! :)

No

Apple makes it impossible to provide free software with GPL license in App Store. Even if they allowed it, someone would still have to write that app. As far as I can tell, no developer in the team is interested.

No. And there won't be one because:

Apple sucks and doesn't allow GPL in the App store.

GIMP is 90% GUI code and "porting" that would be a complete rewrite.
