Wow, that is cool! I emailed my professor about this since he is doing a Raspberry Pi course next semester.

I would be very generous of them (yeah, they've already earned a lot money with Mathematica!) if they would release a free version for Android, as well. But that means a lot of money going down the drain, i'm afraid.
'Raspberry Pi' is a nice platform but not as portable as a phone.:P

He, you can still use it on a desktop over an ssh x-session. But believe me, that is slow O.O
