R can be embedded, and this is documented in the R Extensions manual (see the manuals page for more).
The RInside classes make it easy to embed R inside C++ applications (at least on Linux / OS X). Windows has (D)COM.
But what probably meant to ask were ‘ports of R to embedded devices’ and that has come up a few times over the years on the mailing lists starting with the Sharp Zaurus etc. Windows CE and Palm OS are non-starters due to the differences in the toolchain (as you will find out, even on Windows the MinGW tools need to be used).
