Calculator Emulators for PocketPC?

Posted by Cliff on from the now-replacing-the-sliderule-and-abacus dept.

Yoweigh asks: "Are there any advanced calculator programs out there for PocketPC handheld devices? Specifically, any TI emulators available or under development? I've seen quite a few emulators for desktop PCs under several OSes (including Linux), but none for handhelds. It seems to me that this could easily be the most useful application of calculator emulator software. I just paid quite a bit for my pretty color iPaq... why pay $200 more for a TI-89?"

    PalmOS has EasyCalc. i am sure there's something like it for pocketPC, but since the software is harder to write, and get a license for, good luck. maybe someone will port it.

    Emu48CE, an HP48 emulator.

    RPN Calc. Very nice and supports RPN like all good calculators should. No graphing capability.

    Maxima. Looks interesting, port of a GPL symbolic manipulation program. (This guy has emacs, gluplot, and other stuff running under CE as well.)

    There's a lot more stuff out there if you search, but no real killer calculator yet that I can see.
