iTunesArtworkPending approval by Apple, my latest App has just been uploaded into the iTunes App approval queue. Micrographia is a repackaged eBook of Robert Hooke’s Micrographia: Some Physiological Descriptions of Minute Bodies Made by Magnifying Glasses with Observations and Inquiries Thereupon from Project Gutenberg.

This App contains the complete text, along with all accompanying illustrations, as published by Hooke in 1664 (also cited as 1665 by various sources).

A noteworthy extra featured in this App is the ability to copy five of Hooke’s high-resolution illustrations into the user’s Photo Album. Once copied, these illustrations can be sent to friends, used as wallpaper, and transferred to a host computer.

Micrographia will be available as a FREE App exclusively for iPad.
