TAP weighs in at 1GB right now. We had thought of streaming all content to the iPod's in the gallery, but we just didn't want to risk a bad experience due to flaky wireless. There was also the potential of 60 iPods trying to pull video from a single WAP. As a paid experience for this exhibition it just made sense to do an Ad-Hoc distribution of the app. Moving ahead, I think an AppStore option for our permanent galleries would be ideal. Updating the application for changes in the permanent galleries just wouldn't be feasible. Justin, thanks for the words of (potential) support. TAP weighs in at 1GB right now.

I would have gladly bought a copy to support the museum. It’s a shame the app isn’t available in the AppStore. I would have gladly bought a copy to support the museum.

We rent devices for $5 in the exhibition. We will share the uptake numbers at the end of the exhibition. TAP is not distributed through the app store. We rent devices for $5 in the exhibition.

Has it been effective with connecting your visitors with the exhibit? I was wondering how many people have actually downloaded the application?
