Best regards.

Hmm... I think my iPhone already does that. Looks pretty cool though. Does everything my Datamath 2500 did -- and is less cumbersome on the keyring.

Clicking on the image leads to four other calcs I didn't know existed. I guess I've been in a cave.

The other three (OfficeCalc 100/200 and Quick Calc) are just relabelled $5 calcs from an oem supplier,
and the so-called PrintCal is a maybe $10 relabelled calc from the same oem supplier. Similar to the 6s/Solar , 8s, 9s, 9g, 10s, 30s (?) and maybe some more.

Also note the inconsistent naming schema: OfficeCalc, PrintCal (missing final c), Quick Calc (the latter with two words)...

I wouldn't waste any more thoughts about them.
