HP15C emulator for the PocketPC
Message #1 Posted by Andrés C. Rodríguez (Argentina) on 22 May 2003, 1:54 p.m.

A seemingly interesting HP15C emulator for the PocketPC appears in:

http://microsoft.handango.com/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=75&jid=BF2C84CABF6633A5832424CAAEE298C3&catalog=0&sectionId=0&productType=2&platformId=2&productId=49174

I have not used it, this is just a pointer for who may be interested...

      
Please, somebody build this for PALM!!

It sure looks great, and the 15C is one of my favs. Alas, I have a Palm and I'm certainly not switching to another cumbersome Microsoft platform.

I just hope somebody eventually makes this for Palm. The KK-12C from KKtechnologies.com is a decent 12C emulator, but we need emulators for the out-of-production machines, too!!

OmniSolve [Was: HP15C emulator for the PocketPC ]

Too bad the 15C emulator is only for 'Pocket PC 2000/2002' . If there were a version for Handheld PC Pro, with WinCE 2.11 , it would be more interesting.

However, since my Jornada 690 has OmniSolve is built-in, there's not much need to 'upgrade'.

For those who don't know what Omnisolve is:

It's a very nice RPN calculator emulation, switchable between RPN and algebraic.

In RPN mode, it looks like an 11C or 15C, with minimal differences.

And best of all: It's FREE. You only have to have the Handheld PC, of course;-)

Omnisolve was available as a software product from Landware (if I recall correctly), but was included in some HP Jornada handheld PCs indeed. Other brand (non HP) handhelds needed to buy it.
