iPad?
Erm... Not so difficult, the iPhone toolchain is using gcc and it wouldn't be hard to make an ARM gfortran... I think Simon did on a lark when the iPhone came out. The real problem is actually getting it onto the App Store since R is not allowed given current rules (no programming languages). Interestingly, if you were to use R to build an application that was NOT a programming language, that would be fine. (there are Smalltalk and Mono-based Apps in the store).

I'm not sure that I have much to contribute in terms of making this happen, but I'm wondering if anyone who is familiar with the iPhone SDK (especially anyone who has played around with 3.2) knows how feasible it would be...
