Has anyone ported R to the WinCE OS?
Indeed, does anyone know of _any_ statistics software for this OS?

Looks like cross-compiling environments for this are in their infancy. 
Have a look at

It seems like someone is pulling the strings together, but I wouldn't
hold my breath. My impression is that it is like the Win32
crosscompilers 5 years ago. Major tinkering is involved.

Notice that you need to specify the chip architecture for these
devices. R runs on the mips and arm architectures under Linux (which
implies that the gcc compiler target exists and works at least
reasonably), but with some bad problems (bad as in "can't do
postscript plots").

My understanding was that WinCE was no more (read `Pocket Windows 2002')
and that all current implementations used the same chip (StrongArm as I
recall).

I think the big problem would be an IEEE-compliant run-time system.
R won't even build under VC++ on win32 because of problems there, and we do
use msvcrt.dll.

If there is spare Windows programming expertise available, we need it for
win32 ....
