GSOC 2013 is near and there was in 2012 some interest about SymPy
interface on mobile OS, so I share here my views of the status of CAS
(Computer Algebra System) for smartphones and tablets, both online and
installed locally :

As we can see, SymPy is used by many softwares online (Mathics,
Integral/Derivative Calculators, SymPy Live/Gamma) and all mobile OS
which run CAS.
Maxima was natively released to Android in 10/2012, besides
Maxima/wxMaxima available in Linux chroot in some mobile OS.
It is interesting to think about some trends or possibilities :
- IPython 0.13.1 Notebook (with SymPy / MatPlotLib / NumPy) running on
smartphone mobile OS, currently MeeGo Harmattan OS, but possibly
Sailfish OS and Ubuntu Phone OS in the future (2013-14);
- Ubuntu Phone OS with desktop convergence, i.e., the smartphone becomes
the PC desktop :

- Qt 5.1 official Android support in Q2 2013 :

opening the door of developing non-Java GUI on Android;
- Qt 5 expected official support in 2013 :

- port CAS softwares to Windows 8 RT ? Or serious tablet users of CAS
softwares should only consider Windows 8 x86 for tablets ?
