I have the W|A iPhone app. I bought it when it was on special for Christmas, so the price was not too outrageous. The design of the iPhone app is really quite good, and not just a fancy version of the website. The use of dynamic 'soft' keyboards is very good, and shows that Apple had a good idea when they went with a non-hradware keyboard. I am looking forward to running the app on the iPad. My only problem is that the size of the iPhone (I actually have an iPod Touch) is just too small. george On Feb 22, 2010, at 7:03 PM, Uayeb wrote: > On Feb 21, 8:23 pm, "ibmich... at hotmail.com" <ibmich... at hotmail.com> > wrote: >> Hi all, >> >> It is just a matter of time before handheld devices like >> PDA or Ipod Touch are powerful enough to have Mathematica >> ported.
