Hum, still sounds a bit limited for real work. I don't how long it took you to get there, but it's a pretty nice step anyway.
To really target small form factors we should probably develop a specific UI, though.
Time to really get into QML/QtQuick?
Speaking about equatione editor, your changes are pretty neat (auto-completion). The only problem I have is that the mouse does not work to edit the fields. Maybe linked?

It could certainly be useful. Especially for industrial scope, telemetry surveillance, etc. I think the PlayBook is pretty cheap, being able to run a powerful scope on such low-cost harware could even open up some interesting business perspectives, and - who knows - attract new developers and users?
