ActiveMath on an iPod touch

A week ago I entered a Gravis Store for the very first time and tested an iPod touch. One of the outstanding features is its display and navigation by using a finger. Also, it provides a WLAN unit, so I typed in the browser URl of a quite challenging site: demo.activemath.org. It’s amazing, I never expected a good output. CSS is no problem and most formulae were rendered correctly. Except for the limit symbol/function. But this is an old well-known problem for which we have no fix yet. However, the display quality is great. And here we go. Click on the images to open large pictures.

Unfortunately, I could not run a full test. That is, I did not login and I did not test any exercise. But at least, we expect that the input editor won’t work because it is embedded in a Java applet. Also, Java Script does not work properly as formula highlighting did not work. After a while, I must have done something wrong, because I could not follow any link on any page. Seems like the iPod touch crashed.
