Re: Free42 Port of HP-42S for iPhone now available Message #6 Posted by Thomas Okken on 14 Jan 2009, 12:25 p.m., in response to message #5 by Les Wright
The $5 price is intended to cover the costs of doing iPhone development, i.e. having to buy a Mac and the iPhone developer program subscription. While I can develop for Windows, Linux, Pocket PC, and PalmOS, at zero cost apart from a generic PC and a copy of Windows (both of which I need for many other reasons anyway), iPhone development is a slightly more elitist affair. ;-)
Susan Mackay has already finished another port which includes much of the functionality that Les and Egan were talking about, including program import/export and saving print-outs. We have yet to decide who will post this on the App Store, who will maintain it, and what we will charge for it, but rest assured a full-featured port will become available in due course, with source code made available under GPLv2.
Please be patient!
