Yes, Sage can of course never run under java. I don't know jack about Android, but isn't it somehow just Linux+customization, so won't people inevitably hack it so one can run native binaries, like they did with the iPhone within days of its release? Again, I'm naive, having not followed Android at all. > a > much better approach would be to create a special notebook interface > for this kind of webkit based web browser - We should just modify the sage notebook so when the client is a gphone it displays differently, just like gmail displays differently. > this is the same for iphone and the g1. I just want to emphasize that the iphone does not have a java restriction, that Python 2.5 runs natively and quite nicely on the iphone, and I could imagine Sage being ported to run natively on the iPhone. It's not inconceivable. However, in point of fact, it would likely feel better to use Sage over the net or via even Edge/3g than to use Sage natively, since the iphone processor is going to easily be 5 times slower for serious math than a good remote server. This sort of embedded calculator stuff is better left to either another math project or a "sage lite" branch... I don't think that's the sort of thing that really interests the people who are involved in sage development. But I'm sure it seriously interests some group of people... > Another approach would be to build a special application using Sage as > a server based service and embedding it a bit better into the android > application infrastructure.
