Recently for my iPod Touch I got an app called C/C++ Compiler by Mr. Lee and after spending a couple hours getting a program I made in C to work on there, I was pretty happy. I was able to make something on my iPod without needing to jailbreak or get a Mac to make an iPod app in Objective-C. Today, instead of doing homework (okay I did actually do the homework later), I looked up some programming iOS apps and found that most do not support iPod Touch and instead go for iPad. I completely get the reasoning. Today I bought Texpad and Pythonista. For Texpad, I saw it as really cool in that you can compile locally with just basic LaTeX packages, or, if you have internet, via the internet and then you can use all of the TeXLive packages out there. For Pythonista, it looks like the best Python app out there. There is Python 3.2, but that doesn’t look as good. Now, with Pythonista, it looks like, based on the examples, that I can nearly make apps within the app. This has me pretty excited. I love the portability of the iPod Touch, and being able to program on it would help me for when I have nothing to do at school (my computer is too expensive to bring). Do you know of any really good programming apps to get? Preferably if the app is for more platforms besides just iPad I’ll look into it more. I’m willing to spend quite a bit of money (a rarity for me), likely because I haven’t bought much at all recently.
I used to have an android java compiler / ide for my phone (I probably still have it although I have never used it much) I am not sure for iOS however
Yeah I can’t see anything Java related on iOS based on Apple not wanting it. I think there is a Java app that compiles through the web but that’s not what I’m looking for. On Android I can definitely see Java-related compilers. I don’t really mind not being able to program Java on iOS anyway.

Avian (+ NEWT). What else? ;D
I did not mean programming for iOS, because I am pretty sure that requires a Mac and then to actually put your app on your iPod that might require jailbreaking which I am not up for. I meant programming on iOS, as in you open an app, type in some code, and then it gets compiled.
