Nifty iPhone HP-41CX Template Workaround Message #1 Posted by Mike on 26 June 2008, 12:08 p.m. It's not as cool as what the iPhone 41CX emulator will include in the next update, but I didn't want to wait till the next release, to have user templates. So, I just created a 2nd instance that uses the custom template. It's kind of nice because it doesn't take any more steps than the final version. It takes 2 clicks to change templates, and the state of the calc is maintained, so you don't lose any work in making the swap. Here is a video showing how it works The Video PS: Not crazy about the distortion in my camera lens in macro. :-( Edited: 26 June 2008, 12:48 p.m.

Re: Nifty iPhone HP-41CX Template Workaround Message #3 Posted by Mike on 26 June 2008, 9:41 p.m., in response to message #2 by Dave Shaffer (Arizona) Off-topic Well I'm not but that's not the problem. There is a little barrel distortion on this lens, in the macro, when the lens is all the way to the end. Even if I took the photo dead right angle to the plane, it would show curved lines, in extreme macro. [b]Here is an example at extreme macro, and extreme wide angle[/b]. I was nearly straight on (a little off though). The solution is to back off slightly from the wide angle and move back a bit and the problem is reduced. Edited: 26 June 2008, 10:56 p.m.
