Will R run under Windows Pocket PC?
We don't know!
There are no binary versions of R for that platform, but perhaps you could
find a suitable compiler and manage to build the sources.
Outside pure mathematics it is usually very hard to establish that something cannot be done (and it can be very hard in pure mathematics, too).
Do PocketPCs generally have enough memory to run something as big as R? A standard R install requires a lot of storage space, by PDA standards...
Technically, I don't suppose there's much to stop R running on some PDAs, especially those based on Linux like the Sharp Zaurus, other than storage and memory requirements. If there's a Qt graphical interface available for R, you could even get graphics working on the Zaurus, potentially. The Windows API on Pocket PC is quite a reduced subset compared to full Windows, so you might have problems with that. PalmOS would probably be right out. :-)
