Changes in version 1.4.60-maemo3
Update to upstream Free42 version 1.4.60.
Task switcher view update, now installs to /opt, N900 version starts in vertical mode by default.
Still missing program import/export, printer support and preferences setup dialog.
Comments
Any hope that this "portrait"-mode will be available for the N810 some time? That would be great. But thanks for your efforts anyway.
I'm seeing a display glitch in version 1.4.60-maemo1.
In "Vertical" mode, it's always displayed in vertical mode, regardless of the phone's orientation; that's fine.
In "Horizontal" mode, it works correctly when the phone is horizontal, but when the phone is rotated it shows just the left half of the horizontal display; the bottom of the screen is blank.
This doesn't really affect me (I always use Vertical mode), but I thought I should report it, and it's not easy to find conact information for the maintainer.
This application installs an icon in a wrong place (typo?). It uses /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scaleable/hildon/, which should be "scalable".
For old nerds like me, only RPN calculators will do! The landscape mode of this application is particularly nice, because it makes your N900 into something close to an old HP 10C series calculator (but better). The layout and form-factor of the 10C series was just about perfect.
Good. I remember the days when the first HP calculator (HP-35) came out...
not bad
New to RPN, this calculator seems to be a good starting point for me, good job!
Finally, a "real" RPN calculator on my phone! The button size is very usable with fingers.
I haven't tried any of the advanced functions, but for what I need from a handheld these days, this is more than sufficient.
(I'd ask for a HP48GX for old-time sake, but the buttons would become too small to use.)
very good
Excellent app. I haven't used the 42S, but I've been in love with HP's RPN calcs since I first got to use one in grade 4, and this does it justice (inasmuch as is possible without HP's legendary keypads). If you like RPN, I'd fully recommend this. If you don't know what RPN is, and are mathematically inclined, go Google it, then download this app.
