I do not believe you can just "port" over apple software from their PC
environment to their tablets (one uses OS X and the other uses iOS -
different platforms for different processors/chip sets).
I am not a SPSS/Apple rep and don't speak for them, but I would be VERY
surprised (albeit excited) to see a tablet version come out.... I'm not even
sure how I would use it, or why, but it would still be fun!
Now - for a workaround for right now, they have plenty of RDP packages you
can get for the iPad/iPad2 which will allow you to remotely control a PC.
So you should be able to RDP into your apple PC with SPSS installed, open
it up on that PC (from your tablet) and remotely work like that. Mind you
performance of the streaming content will be varied based on internet
connection speeds, but the processing time for any commands you pass to SPSS
will all be done from the native PC it is installed on. If you have a *
genuine* use for having SPSS on your iPad2 I would say that for handling
large complex data files you would want to be running an RDP session which
is FAR better than trying to push your iPad2 to do the work - all your iPad
would have to do if it is RDP'ed is stream the video content of the screen
of the PC you are connected to, whereas if you had SPSS installed on your
tablet you would be waiting for what I would assume to be a much longer time
for the same computations.
Maybe Joh Peck will chime in and say that they have an SPSS application in
dev for iPad/Android - and then again..... maybe they don't... my bet is on
the latter.
