Give 'em a chance; the iPad won't even be here for two months. Shouldn't be a problem to tweak WolframAlpha's screen size by then at the very least.

In a way that is exactly what the WolframAlpha application is doing. It just sends the problem to Wolfram's server over the internet instead. We may later see a more advanced application accessing the same server, for more advanced uses. -- Per Erik R�nne http://www.RQNNE.dk Errare humanum est, sed in errore perseverare turpe

I went to the store, crashed the O.S. five times in ten minutes and decided I was right--it certainly was NOT the present. -- Wes Groleau TANSTAAFL http://Ideas.Lang-Learn.us/WWW?itemid=984 |
