Check the archive for r-sig-mac (https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-mac/ ). There has been extensive discussion about this. If memory serves (and it rarely does anymore :-) ) the issue is mainly licensing, there already exists the ability to compile to the ARM processor.


For R to be ported to the IPhone or iPad, there would needed to be approval by Apple which has rather emphatically stated that it does not want languages or alternate development systems ported. I believe that terminal emulators already exist if you wanted to configure your computer as a server. So depending on the precise meaning of the phrase "app for R" the answer could be yes or no. The modifier "3G" would appear to be meaningless in this discussion.

Does anyone know if a free iphone 3G app for R is available now?

Thanks,

I remember looking into it last academic year, because I knew there were SQLite programs on iPhone and I was interested in remote data collection with iPhone and initial analysis and viewing of data in R. But as I remember there isn't one yet. There may be some scope for R in android phones, because I read somewhere that some allow access to a terminal, which might alleviate the need for coding a gui for the phone. But I'm not an app coder
so I wouldn't know the specifics of such a task and phone.
