Non-HP credit-card-sized scientific
Message #1 Posted by Don Davis on 6 July 2008, 10:05 p.m.

Perhaps others here have seen this before, but I just ran across a description for a credit card sized calculator - the Kadio KD1005 from Takshun. It reminds me a bit of my Radio Shack EC-4009 (same as Casio FX-28), but it is not solar powered.

Kadio KD-1005

I tried to find a retailer, but the only hit I got was on a website in Polish, which I cannot read. Has anyone seen this before, and do you know if it is available for purchase now?

Thanks and best regards, Don Davis

I forgot to mention their scientific calc wristwatches.

Where?
All I could find was a 4-banger.

As far as I know, THIS is still the only scientific calculator watch made in the last 20 years.

That's not a scientific, it's a 4-banger.

Casio and countless others still make plenty of them.

I posted a link to that a year or two ago. Still don't know where to buy it retail.
