i41CX+ available on AppStore Message #1 Posted by Alain Mellan on 3 Sept 2008, 11:24 a.m. All, Antonio Lagana's fabulous i41CX+ is now available on AppStore, for everybody with an iPhone 2.0.x. There is also a web site with an FAQ: http://alsoftware.dyndns.org/i41CXplus/ Edited: 3 Sept 2008, 11:24 a.m.

Re: i41CX+ available on AppStore Message #2 Posted by Egan Ford on 3 Sept 2008, 12:51 p.m., in response to message #1 by Alain Mellan This app makes up for all the iPhone crashes and restores I have had to endure. Thanks Antonio Lagana.

Re: i41CX+ available on AppStore Message #3 Posted by PeterP on 3 Sept 2008, 1:25 p.m., in response to message #1 by Alain Mellan FINALLY! I have held off upgrading to 2.0 until now for only this reason! Now I am just hoping that the hp12/15/16 emualtors will make it to the 2.0 version soon as well... Great job Antonio!

Re: i41CX+ available on AppStore Message #4 Posted by Alain Mellan on 3 Sept 2008, 2:43 p.m., in response to message #3 by PeterP I'm waiting for 11/12/15/16 emulation too, but I'm not sure with what's happening there. Apparently the AppStore process went quite fast for i41CX+, but Tom Fors announced on July 12 that all licensing issues on his HPCalc apps were solved, and ... nothing since then :-(

Re: i41CX+ available on AppStore Message #5 Posted by Eric Smith on 3 Sept 2008, 2:56 p.m., in response to message #3 by PeterP For no apparent reason, Apple is being very slow to approve the 11C/12C/15C/16C applications, or to tell us why they haven't approved them.

Quote: This app makes up for all the iPhone crashes and restores I have had to endure. Perhaps the Voyager-series emulators were causing iPhone 1.0 to crash... ;-) But seriously, folks, it certainly sounds strange to speak of a telephone "crashing" (and not in the physical sense). -- KS

Re: i41CX+ available on AppStore Message #7 Posted by Dusan Zivkovic on 3 Sept 2008, 2:53 p.m., in response to message #1 by Alain Mellan Couldn't wait to go back home to download it over WiFi. Instead, I got it over the patchy O2 edge connection immediately after I saw the message on this forum. Can't wait to start playing with it, either - by the time I get off the tube at the other end of London tonight, I don't expect to have any juice left in iPhone's battery. Antonio Lagana, if you are reading this - many thanks.

Re: i41CX+ available on AppStore Message #8 Posted by Erik Wahlin on 3 Sept 2008, 6:34 p.m., in response to message #7 by Dusan Zivkovic I just downloaded Antonios great new App for the HP-41CX.

Re: i41CX+ available on AppStore Message #9 Posted by reth on 4 Sept 2008, 7:54 a.m., in response to message #1 by Alain Mellan great stuff, there is just one thing I'd like to see improved - the skin; current one looks distorted and worn like low-grade quality picture of the real thing; for example the pioneer's emulators look perfect, I have the feeling they are 3D images. I'm still waiting for the Free42 port before upgrading my ipod touch to 2.0 regards, reth

I like the clean look of the nonpareil 41CX image. Perhaps we will get an option in the future to change the skin. Quote: ; for example the pioneer's emulators look perfect, I have the feeling they are 3D images. What Pioneer emulator?

Re: i41CX+ available on AppStore Message #11 Posted by reth on 4 Sept 2008, 8:15 p.m., in response to message #10 by Egan Ford Sorry, my bad ;) I meant Voyagers 11/12/15/16 cheers, reth

Re: i41CX+ available on AppStore Message #12 Posted by Dusan Zivkovic on 5 Sept 2008, 6:41 a.m., in response to message #9 by reth Yes, the skin. A bit blurred and the keys are uncomfortably small, but maybe I am not yet fully trained for iPhone touch screen. Great fun anyway. Another criticism would be that there appears to be an awkward bug in User mode, where doing a sequence <number> CHS <user assigned key> (i.e. invoking a program on a user assigned key with a negative argument) causes i41cxp to hang, so that you have to go back to iPhone home screen and back, to get it unstuck. I can't make it hang with all assignments and all programs. I'll try to put together a fully reproducible test case, and publish it.

Does this work with iPod touch with paid software upgrade? Message #13 Posted by Les Wright on 9 Sept 2008, 1:31 a.m., in response to message #1 by Alain Mellan Forgive me for being a little naive to this, but until now I have never considered using my Touch as a computing device and out of cheapness held off popping for the AppStore upgrade. Anyone using this fine sounding software on an older iPod touch too? Les

Re: Does this work with iPod touch with paid software upgrade? Message #14 Posted by Les Wright on 9 Sept 2008, 1:35 a.m., in response to message #13 by Les Wright actually, the iPod touch compatibility is mentioned on the AppStore listing. Maybe I will splurge on that software upgrade and this software :) Excellent little gizmo for a total of 18 bucks! Les

That was easy! Message #15 Posted by Les Wright on 9 Sept 2008, 2:13 a.m., in response to message #14 by Les Wright I just download the iPod touch 2.0.2 update and then iHP41CX. Installs and runs flawlessly. Happy happy joy joy.... I have a first generation 16GB iPod touch. For almost a year I have been using it just for music and portable video. I really liked P41CX on my Palm TX, but this is a sheer delight in comparison. Learning to download and install modules is my next task! Les
