HP 12C/15C emulators for iPhone by HP
Message #1 Posted by Peter Heberer on 28 July 2009, 7:22 p.m.

Hi,

I just noticed that there's a couple of HP calculator emulators available as iPhone apps.

Some are made by HP itself, some by others.

Here's a link to the HP page with links to the apps: HP emulators (by HP)

Regards, Peter

$36AU? HP must be joking. Unless the hardware is included in the price.

Ahem, that's 36 Australian dollars...or about 20 Euros, so where's the problem?

For one, 42S for iPhone is AU$6 and offers heaps more in every aspect not only as a calculator but as features added to the original

I think the proprietary HP apps are pricey, given that the Tom Fors versions are somewhat cheaper and seem fine to me. I have SCI15C, though I must confess I use it little.

Some have suggested that by spending the extra and supporting the HP app we may encourage HP to release the 15C anew by showing interest. I must admit that I don't know if I buy into that logic.

And, yes, Reth, the 42s simulator, particularly in its most recent release, is so much more pleasurable to use, and cheaper too. The program I/O is the deal breaker for me. i41cx+ is a bit more expensive, but just keeps getting better, and is a must have for the aficionado. But for daily use, 42s is my fave.

42s emulator for iPhone is brilliant and getting better all the time!

IMO 42s is on its way to its second life, with the 4 line display (+ 4 line AVIEW is on Thomas' to-do list) and dynamic overlay keys plus practically unlimited memory and great speed and already excellent IO cappabilities, it's my favorite too. What's more - it's a living thing and I believe future improvements will follow.
I take the opportunity to recommend it to all iPhone/iPod Touch owners among HPCalc fans who still don't have it.
Cheers,
Reth
