Hasn't someone ported R to the Sharp Zaurus,
Yes, Simon Pickering did this. I ran his version of R on a Zaurus two years ago. His site implies that development is still underway. http://people.bath.ac.uk/enpsgp/Zaurus/index.html
I'm not sure how well a number crunching application like R would run on the Zaurus processor, though -- IIRC the floating point is emulated in software.
It was slow :). Also I never got it to work with X, but in fairness I didn't really try hard. Simon's site implies that improvements are being implemented. Cheers Andrew
