[R-SIG-Mac] R mobile: iOS

[Etienne Low-Décarie]

Good day,

iOS devices (iPhone,iPod and iPad) can be amazing tools, expanding the realm of R usage (to the field even!), and it is already possible to run R on a host computer through command line (through SSH apps for example, with no script editor or graphical output).  I was wondering if R related software was being developed for this operating system.  I am posting these suggestions to this list, as porting software to iOS is similar to porting software to OS X.

Suggested R related iOS software include:

•Directly ported R-help file
•Library of graph examples

•R script editor
•R mobile app based on similar software available for MatLab (http://www.mathworks.com/mobile/), desired for Mathematica (http://quernstone.com/archives/2008/07/mathematica-for.html)
•R mobile helper app (on host computer)

•native R mobile (a crippled native R, SpaceTime pulls off something similar, http://www.spacetime.us/) ?


Thank you and have an excellent day,
