Hello,
I'm thinking to start learning R, but I want to know one thing, Is it embeddable(Windows CE, Palm OS)?

A:
Certainly not on Palm OS. Plus, most of the interaction is through the console, so typing with the virtual keyboard will be painful.

But I have a keyboard for it, also there are many of this language types for Palm OS.

A:
R can be embedded, and this is documented in the R Extensions manual (see the manuals page for more).
The RInside classes make it easy to embed R inside C++ applications (at least on Linux / OS X). Windows has (D)COM.
But what probably meant to ask were 'ports of R to embedded devices' and that has come up a few times over the years on the mailing lists starting with the Sharp Zaurus etc. Windows CE and Palm OS are non-starters due to the differences in the toolchain (as you will find out, even on Windows the MinGW tools need to be used).

Hum, that's very nice, then I can use a ARM C++ compiler to do it! Thanks.

There is a MinGW/gcc port to Windows CE, though: http://cegcc.sourceforge.net/.

R has also been used on the iPhone and Google Android, if you're looking for a mobile OS.
