RE: Smartphone killed the calculator star. Some thoughts... and data too
I have free42 and andro15c emulators on my Nexus 6 phone. The programs work. That said, I have punching "buttons" on a smartphone screen. It's the same reason why a tablet can never take the place of a laptop for me.

I just wanted to share with all forum members some information I happened to find. I asked 'Google Trends' about how the interest on some top brands has varied over the last decade, and I was shocked about the answer:


It seems the interest in calculators (in general) has dropped to ca. one tenth over the last decade!

I remember begging my big brother for his Casio Scientific Calc in the early 80's. I felt the king of the world with my HP28s by the late 80's... yes, RPN (in my University) was said to be 'only for the braves'. Nevertheless, now it seems calculators will soon fall into the 'only for the nostalgist, if any' category :./
