Wolfram Alpha, the computational knowledge search engine, launched its iPhone application today.
It’s a nice looking app that does a lot more than simply embed the search engine in an iPhone app (it’s an impressive graphing calculator and stock analysis tool, as weblog Mashable points out), but the $US50 price tag limits the audience to either people with a really big iTunes gift card to burn or a serious jones for a souped up graphing calculator on their iPhone.
