Hi All,

I found this cool feature of ipython several days ago,

Now I've discovered you can run R commands from it!

here is an example:
http://nbviewer.ipython.org/urls/raw.github.com/fperez/nipy-notebooks/master/exploring_r_formula.ipynb

you can even plot into the notebook , and get the feel of high priced software (like Mathematica)

Enjoy!

From what I've seen so far, they are very very similar, both python based and use a web like interface,

Ipython is easier to install and has all the power of both R and python (thanks to the rpy2 and rmagic extensions)

Both can act across the web, 

For now I am staying with Ipython notebook. with the sympy module it is simply the best.
