A Big Week for Wolfram|Alpha
There’s a lot going on in the Wolfram|Alpha project these days—and this week there’s a remarkable convergence of events.
Late last week we introduced the Wolfram|Alpha Webservice API, allowing outside developers to call Wolfram|Alpha from their websites or application programs.
Then yesterday we released the first mobile implementation of Wolfram|Alpha, in the form of an iPhone app.
Tomorrow, we’re doing something completely different: Wolfram|Alpha Homework Day—a 14-hour live webcast event for students and educators.
Oh, and starting on Thursday is the International Mathematica User Conference, which will show many advances in the core Mathematica technology on which Wolfram|Alpha is based.
In May we launched Wolfram|Alpha as a major website. But the website is really just the tip of an iceberg. Wolfram|Alpha is a whole technology that can be deployed and used in all sorts of ways.
This week we’re seeing some of the diversity of what can be done. The API as a tool for developers. The iPhone app as a consumer product. And Homework Day as a community event that Wolfram|Alpha enables.
My approach to managing R&D is to maintain a portfolio of ongoing projects, short-term and long-term. There’s an amazing amount in the pipeline for Wolfram|Alpha, which will emerge on timescales from weeks to years.
I’m very proud of the achievements of our various teams that we’re seeing this week. The diversity of what’s becoming possible with Wolfram|Alpha is surprising even us. There are a lot of very exciting things to come…
This service has been supremely useful! My school uses Mathematica, but I don’t own it personally. It’s quite handy to be able to run simpler calculations using Alpha from my computer. Keep up the great work!
Are there any plans for releasing an Android application for Wolfram|Alpha? I’m quite interested.

Historically we have not thought too much of ubiquitous scientific computing. With the API, I see a vast variety of combined applications of the knowledge engine with specialized pre- and postprocessing, all widely accessible, if we want.
I can’t wait to start work!
Please work an equivalent WA app for Android! That OS is growing and the users are certainly the Mathematica type.

Just adding to the other requests for a Wolfram|Alpha application for Android. I know it must be annoying to have just developed one app you’re proud of only to have a bunch of people request the same app on another platform, but please do it anyway!

I haven’t seen anything in “A new Kind of Science” yet that indicates this, but several simple programs are sensitive to the WIDTH of the display. 109 is especially sensitive. POD
I too would like to have this app for Android. However, seeing the price tag of the iPhone version, I don’t think it will happen anytime soon, especially since Android has at the moment far fewer mobile phones. So the price might be even higher than $50 for the Android platform. Even so, could we get an official statement regarding this request?

Another voice in support of an android version of the application.
We are the earlier adopters, and an open development environment makes interesting and unexpected hybrid applications based on alpha more likely.

I think android is the fastest growing mobile OS and is popular among the geeky type rather than iPhone (which btw is used mostly by “art” type of folk). Wolfram should considering porting the WA app to Anroid on priority.
