R v.1.6.2 is now available for the Sharp SL-5500 Zaurus linux pda. Thanks to the effort of Simon Pickering at Bath University, NA handling is now correct and graphics function fine. It can run on the unexpanded 'out of the box' machine. The FPU emulation can slow some operations a lot, but it can do lowess smoothing on over 10,000 data points in just a few minutes, as good as the 486SX25 I was happy with not that many years ago. And R (+Zaurus) in the hand/jacket pocket is worth any number of laptops in the bush.
You'll need R (see http://students.bath.ac.uk/enpsgp/Zaurus/#R), plus a few libraries (from http://ipkgfind.handhelds.org/). To add graphics, you can either run native X-windows - faster - or run X within qtopia (see http://students.bath.ac.uk/enpsgp/Zaurus/#X) for convenience. Stuart PS. At present the help system doesn't function. We're working on this - we're not sure why, but note that in the current compilation, the CONTENTS folders end up empty.
