Currently, there is not any great graphing/scientific calculator available
for Androids and iPhones (although iPhone has an okay one - http://www
.iphone-calc.com/wp/). This is a proposal to create an iPhone or Android
app that is a front-end to Sage, so users can do stuff like 2D and 3D
graphing, among other things. The app will then pass the user's command
to a remote Sage server for computing, and the user will be given the
option of running shell mode or the more important calculator-like-UI
mode. The UI-mode will contain standard graphing and scientific keys,
with the option of unhiding more features like statistics, etc. A
possible feature is having handwriting input recognition for math symbols.
The implication is that for general purposes, a portable Sage for mobile
devices can really replace the TI-89 as the graphing/scientific calculator
of choice, and can push Sage's name to further mainstream. Considering
how much processing power and storage capacity smartphones have nowadays,
it might even be reasonable to have the Sage server be a local
installation.

It's stuff like this which Trac's trac ticket
[http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/8607 #8607] would be useful for... sorry
about the email spam.
