apt-get install application

if ‘application’ is in your cydia list it will install it, so maybe you can also install git, wait, let me try this:

apt-get install git

Yes, there’s a version of git for the iPhone (git_1.5.6.rc0-2_iphoneos-arm.deb)

Some git commands that are in the git for the iPhone:

add,bisect,branch,checkout,clone,commit,diff,fetch,grep,init,log,merge,mv,pull,push,rebase,resetrm,show,status,tag

The main thing I am wondering about is if it would be possible to use git. Otherwise, I would just be wasting my time, because I would need to be able to pull the most recent changes from the development repository as well as sync with my own branches at github.

Right now, I can use TouchSSH (free) to login to a remote machine that has all of this, but it is command-line only, and, more importantly, it only works when I have internet access.

On the other hand, I may end up jailbreaking just because Apple’s built-in music app sucks so much.

And I know that there are good plotting apps in the app store. I am just wondering if the sympy plotting works as a sympy developer. The same with unicode pretty-printing.

The python in the iPhone is full, it has everything the computer version has. For me it’s not so much important the plotting part, as there are free programs in the App Store that do 2D and 3D plots.

The jailbreak is really simple, google it, but maybe in 30-40 minutes you can have it jailbroken, although you should do a backup as everything in your iPod is deleted.

It would be interesting if you could get plotting to work. And does unicode pretty printing work?
