I would like to ask group members if they have any personal experiences with Mathematica on such devices (tablet PCs or netbooks running Windows or Linux (not MacOS)). > > The second question is for group members from Wolfram: Is Wolfram planning to sell also Android version of Mathematica in the future? If not, would it be teorethicaly possible to run Mathematica on Windows 8 running on ARM processor platform? > > Thanks for any responses in advance > I don't know what WRI is planning, but I think it's interesting to point out that they seem to be committed to making the CDF player available on tablets: http://www.wolfram.com/cdf/adopting-cdf/supported-platforms.html If I got it right, the CDF player must include at least some limited version of the Mathematica kernel to be able to run the interactive calculations. -- Szabolcs Horvát Mma QA site proposal: http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/37304
