Looks like it's ARM. I suppose that's okay for many, but if you need programs like R, you're out of luck. I'd immediately buy one if it had an Intel or AMD proc

- ekianjo 11y agoWhat are you talking about? I am using R on Slackware 14.1 on an ARM device. It works perfectly once you compile it.
- bachmeier 11y agoYou can use base R but (unless something has recently changed) not all packages are going to work. I also program in D - including interacting with R - and that won't currently work.
- ekianjo 11y agoI have compiled numerous R packages as well (dplyr, ggplot2, FactoMineR) and they all work fine on ARM. I agree that you may face issues when it comes to packages relying on JAVA, but otherwise never seen any other problem so far on ARM.
- ashitlerferad 11y agoJava 8 builds on all the 3 Debian ARM platforms so it probably works on Ubuntu too. https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=openjdk-8&suite=sid https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=openjdk-8&sui...
- ashitlerferad 11y agoI don't know which D compiler you are using, but Debian builds gdc from GCC 5 for the 3 ARM platforms so it will probably work on Ubuntu Phone. https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=gdc-5 https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=gdc-5
