Coinciding with the launch of T-Mobile's G2 smartphone, Wolfram Alpha LLC announced its self-titled Wolfram Alpha app has been ported to Android and is available for download from the Android Market.
"Consumers crave a mobile experience that gives them access to the information they want, wherever they are," said Saj Sahay, director, product management, T-Mobile. "We designed the T-Mobile G2 with this in mind, and we're proud to work with Wolfram Alpha on their entry into the Android space."
Wolfram Alpha is a "computation knowledge engine," as its developers describe it, which can be used to tap into a repository of curated data, including over ten trillion data elements and a library of tens of thousands of sophisticated computation models covering math, science, engineering, health and nutrition, geography, linguistics, sports, and a whole bunch more.
The app runs $1.99 and is compatible with any mobile device running Android 1.6 or later.

My thoughts exactly. It looks like it just gives you a keyboard with some mathematical operations which, while useful, isn't really much of a time saver seeing as I'm fairly proficient with Swype. I use Wolfram Alpha almost every day, so I'd be totally willing to throw two bucks at this if it actually did anything differently than the mobile site.
