From: Murray Eisenberg on 22 Feb 2010 19:03 You do know about the iPhone app that gives access to Wolfram|Alpha, right? This might meet some of your needs.

From: John Browne on 24 Feb 2010 06:18 There is a free App called NTRconnect for the iPhone. With it you can connect remotely to your desktop at home or work running Mathematica with all the power of the desktop. The computer screen is duplicated on the iPhone, and you can do computations, plot graphs, use packages, ... as you wish. My guess is that this will work on the iPad too.

You do know about the TI-89, right? It's a hand-held calculator that does symbolic computations. I believe the underlying engine is based on a different CAS (oh, another one that starts with an M), but this is pretty much transparent to the user. -- Helen Read University of Vermont

Murray, I have the W|A app, but I run a lot of Mathematica that goes beyond the one-liner. I am not questioning the power of W|A, but it is limited on the input side. I brought this up because I think there would be a lot of value in a front-end app for heavy Mathematica users like myself who need the full notebook interface. I think this would have been pretty easy before Version 6, but Dynamic may have pushed the processing requirements for a front end beyond a portable tablet. Daniel |
