From: ustunozgur on 28 Jan 2010 09:07 Now that the iPad has been announced, and it seems that one of the target audiences will be education, could we expect a port of MATLAB to it? This would definitely eliminate the need for a laptop for most tasks at school. I am not talking about a full-fledged MATLAB, but something stripped down and oriented towards the education market. Given that MATLAB uses Java, this may not be possible at all, I'm aware of that; but what about the parts written in C? Or do they constitute only a small portion of the codebase? Maybe something that talks to a MATLAB server, running as a thin client? Best regards, - Ustun

I'm told that the iPad does not support multitasking, which would seem to make something as complex as Matlab problematic. I have not, however, examined the programming facilities for the iPhone (that is apparently the programming model for the iPad), so I do not know what could reasonably be done. A "thin client" to a server.. probably the easiest way to achieve that would be to implement something like VNC.
From: Nasser on 29 Jan 2010 16:53 Guys... if iWork has been ported to the iPad... Matlab is going to be also... for sure! I don't care if they have to rewrite the core or something... but they have no other choice! Especially with its 1 GHz processor frequency... the iPad is perfect for such an application! Finally, all scientists and students carrying an iPad would want to have matlab on it... imagine a researcher in a lab... Wouldn't it be great if he got matlab in the palm of his hand while doing an experiment ? :-) Of course, it would be wonderful... With the iPad... even textbooks will disappears... it'll be in ebook format for student on the iPad... in iBooks. So student will have, iWork (i.e. equivalent of a Full blown Word, Excel and Power point... but only 10 times better), their textbooks, their own lectures in video format from itunes U, and of course their matlab... :-) So Mathworks engineers, please download the SDK and start coding!

If so, you could have access to MATLAB (or any other software) from the iPad just by doing a remote login to a machine with MATLAB installed on it.

The iPhone has VNC clients that work quite well (although the screen is too small). Since the iPad can run all the iPhone apps, I assume that it would be able to run VNC as well. Not a bad idea...
