Yeah, note that I didn't say the calc was all that GOOD -- I merely said it was available. ;-) I think it's definitely on par with the quality and uselessness of the 6s, but it definitely looks better and the keys actually depress, instead of float lightly beneath your finger.
I really wanted one just to say I had it, but it's fun to show around at work. :-D Besides, at $15USD, it's a no-brainer.
thanks,
