No, seriously: I've had more than one person at work wonder what math toolset could be loaded onto iOS. So, before Matlab, FreeMat, Mathematia, SciLab, Octave, or numpy (:-) ) produces a version for iPad, any chance someone is working on R for iPad?
I believe that the iPad conditions for producing apps are incompatible with the GPL (gnuGo was removed from the apps store recently for this reason), so don't hold your breath. There may be some possibility for an app on the iPad that would access R on a server somewhere else, but that is beyond my abilities/interest. -- Gregory (Greg) L.

However, using a client/server model based GUI application (think Wolfram|Alpha) or via a web browser connecting to a remote R server, yes you can. HTH, Marc Schwartz
