Scientific Calculator

Hi.
I study Telecomunications Engineering and I need to have a sicentific calculator like Hp 59g ot 48, or aTexas Instrument Model like those, to make some subjects abaut calculate or algebra...
I´m looking for a software to emulate this calculators, but I can´t find anything.. Could anybody tell me something abaut?

Make sure you have a pop-up blocker installed. :wink:

i just use the same hp48 emulator that i use as calculator for my normal pc
http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=307

could try 1-calc from omegaone, but it is resource hungry and takes large amounts of memory (about 8 meg I think). I rarely use it, but you can guarantee the time when i dont have something like that is the time that I am going to need it.

Absolutely FANTASTIC piece of software!!!
Version 1.9 is currently available for $30 and you can try a 15 day trial of it. Soon, version 2.0 will be released (it was meant to become available in December, grr!), that will be $40.
I'm sure that whatever you want it for, it will do it. As far as I can tell, it lacks no functions from my standard scientific calculator, and introduces more than I can concieve uses for!
..my favourite part is the 3D graphing technology

Ahap.
I saw the first links, and I don´t think they could help me...
I want something to operate with matrix calculate, memory for introduce transform formulas (as Laplace Transform...) integration, 2d and 3d representation, complex mode...
I´m going to see the other links right now and then I write you something...
thanks 4 all

Try Virtual TI, it's an emulator for the Texas Instruments Calculators.
If you google a bit you can find the ROMs needed, or if you have a TI at home you can download it from that one using a serial cable

Anyone have any luck getting a ti emu on WM200x? I sure could use it!!!
EDIT
I had some luck, I'll try it out and see (if i geta chance).
http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/309/30978.html
EDIT2
Here's a rom..... http://www.me.mtu.edu/~phlee/TI89/
I would like to try a ti83+ rom if someone has one/knows where one is.....
I'm gonna go play with this now and see how it is........

i used to do plenty of laplace and matrix calc on my hp48
so guess one can use the hp48 emulator i linked to

I use RDcalc v2.7A http://ravend.com/
Got it originally for use on IPAQ HX4700 WM2003, now use it on my XDA Exec WM5.
Added bonus was that it comes with a copy that you can use on the PC.
Lots of features.

no offense to rudger, but here is an sdk with the ti-83+ and a few other roms. Remember, you are violating copyright laws if you use a rom image of a calculator that you do not own!
http://education.ti.com/educationportal/appsdelivery/download/download.jsp
I haven't tried the other sci calcs. I know and like the TI83, so it's what i'm going with.... Good luck!

well once you go reverse polish notation you never look back
and you could get doom for the hp48
:lol:

MyCalculator v1.0 is quite good scientific calculator indeed

I would have to go with richardkemp on this one. SpaceTime is, as he rightfully said, absolutely fantastic.
I'm on an acoustics course and I do plenty of logarithmic, comlex, calculus based operations on it and including amazing graphing capabilities. This is THE CALCULATOR you wanna have. (If you've tried this and found something better, do let me know too

User interfaces and your phone.

Hi all -
after buying a pocket pc (spv M3100) and playing around with the UI to get a Iphone like simplicity but with a bit of originality I was wondering what you guys use as a decent UI -
- is there any software you use to improve interaction - I'm on a Iphone clone/vista hybrid with wisbar advance, I'v tried RLtoday and Clauncg even Xperience but I cant find anything I fall in love with.
Clown fish are bugging me now - were all going to be bored of the Iphone before it released.
Let me know what you've got? - I'd be particularly interested if anyone uses a completely flash UI, or if they exist...
or what you want out of a decent user interface.
JJ McG.

Eh --
I value performance more than a polished GUI. WisBar Advance slows my device down too much ... as well as most other apps.
If I am in the car, and need to open my contacts to find someone's address, I don't want to wait 3-5 seconds more because of some dumb skinning program.

So you’re telling me you get your little stylus out every time you’re in your car and you need to get a contact? People crash because mobile phones distract them, so god knows what would happen if we all used styluses in our cars... I’m sure if it increased your survival rate whilst driving 3 or 4 seconds worth of loading time wouldn’t kill you, literally.
Or do you use your finger? In which case I'm sure you’ve opened the wrong program or mashed your touch screen activating 2 or 3 apps at once? Would you not prefer bigger buttons like an Iphone or a wisbar skin?
I opened this topic for discussion of this subject in the hope that I could maybe create a decent app that people actually want, not for sarcastic application bashing. Theres more to wisbar and Iphone than looks, its practical as well... do you not think.
Regards.
JJ McG.

SPB Mobile Shell is fairly fat finger friendly.

There have been some very good UI's posted across these forums.
From time to time I've thought Oh I like the look of that - I want it. But if I changed my UI every time I liked something I'd be forever dedicating time to it, because some of these methods aren't quick, i.e. the learning curve on Wisbar.
I will always commend people who make the effort for others to have something different on there phone rather than the bog standard interface, practicality does have to be a consideration as well...
It's whatever floats your boat at the end of the day.
For me I'm happy with my plethora of SPB products jamming up my screen, gives me everything I need and it looks nice too, IMHO.
If you Jonjamesm want to create something then crack on my friend, take a look round the forums and see some of the very nice UI's...
Form and functionality, just plain bling your the designer

smartskey I think hardware buttons are the way to go while driving (or voice rec). With green button, smartskey, you can quickly get to speed dials and call history.
The other big app I use while in the car is WMP, I assigned the IE button on my wizard to start WMP instead. Then the dpad and 2 softkeys can do about 99% of needed inputs. The only problems are:
-a couple functions in WMP require screen tap (library back button and ???)
-WMP forgets where I am at a lot

Favorite calculator?

I guess I'm getting older than I realized. When I was in school there were scientific calculators and adding machines... both allowed to do long calculations with reasonable ease but it in different ways. Now there is a third class... pathetically cheap calculators, which unfortunately seems to be the class of calculator that comes on these devices. Maybe I was just somehow never aware of these because.. well they are bad?
All I want is a calculator that when given
2+4/2=
replies with the number 4, not 3. If you don't understand why then never mind. I don't need trig. I don't need calculus or hex or lots of memories... I just want it to know that it should divide and multiply before adding and subtracting. This is programatically not even as hard as it first seems... not that it even seems hard, and it allows to do long arithmetic calculations without needing to stop to write stuff down or start over or deal with memories just becuase you ran into a fraction somewhere.
So there seem to be several "scientific" calculators programs out there, does anyone have a favorite?
I don't want alot of screen space wasted with advanced features (although i don't mind them if screen real estate is somehow cleverly managed)... I just want to be able to do basic arithmetic in a reasonable way.

Use 1-calc Bro, It Works Just Like That 2+4/2=4

I found MyCalculator. It is free. It is simple. It does math correctly. It has an unusually easy way of doing memory/recall which is good, because on the downside you must use the memories to operate on the last answer. The keys aren't huge, but still thumbable. There is still room for me to find a more perfect solution, but this one will work quite well for me.

also check out http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...Instruments' calculators under Windows Mobile and http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Emulating HP's calculators on Windows Mobile

I use HiCalc. It is not free and it's not cheap, but it is really great calculator if you need something that you can call scientific. In new version you can change between different calculator pages with left/right gestures. You can even see how would your equation look like if it was written on the paper.
If you need something more advanced (like 2D/3D graphing, advanced equations...) you can try SpaceTime.

killer WM App

Hi all!
I'm senior C# programmer and I want to develop a Windows Mobile Application with Compact Framework, but I want develop an useful application or tool that does not already exist. I have no limitations in programming or technology (gps, bluetooth, web services, ecc.).
Any idea/suggestion for this new app? Is there any application that is missing?

hey how about a touch guitar for the ppc..the one like we have in nokia 5800..there is a touch piano(known as omniano) for ppc but no touch guitar..!

What about a proper barcode reader/interpreter using the built-in camera? There are some tentative software but no trully good one out there. Could be good for personal databases like book collection.

Yea! I know! But it is no good! If what you are after is an idea that nobody had before, than I think it will be very difficult.

Here's an idea that might be something handy you could knock out fairly quickly: a battery drain indicator. An app that polls your battery life and generates a report telling the current rate of decrease (and maybe indicates what other applications are running and how often the backlight was on).
It'd be darn useful for trying to gauge the effect different ROMs and apps have on battery life.

There is no DLNA app for windows mobile as far as i know.
Would be good just to have one that can get pics, videos, music from over dlna machines.
Or as above a app that moniters battery drain to see the worse apps and roms for battery

I second this. I've started one, but it's pretty ugly, slow and buggy as I'm in no way a C# developer and I have no time to complete it. There are several battery monitors out there, but neither of them are really usefull.
If you are interested, PM me, I can share some further ideas.

A finger friendly message app instead of wm ugly tiny inbox, outbox etc

Hmm, a killer WM app? Well, I would imagine that it has to be something unique, and fairly difficult to create on other platforms or, hell, just the Windows Mobile platform.
Meh, the best idea I can come up with are these:
1) A GPS software that displays street level navigation (sort of like what was shown in Sony's new NV-U3DV).
2) A Hulu player
3) A program that scales programs/games not designed to work on a particular resolution
My, this was surprisingly difficult to think of.

Quote it!!! A real finger friendly msg app (a simple mail/sms client) will be the top!!

how about a directory assistance program like they had on palm.
when someone calls u it automatically tells u who is calling giving the persons address and info

Killer App, how about something that ties Windows mobile together...not some much a launcher or something like but something that smooths everything out.
Maybe a simple program that transitions the screen of current gen devices to make landscape to portrait smoother.
Maybe a cool task manager is smooth and dynamic...(opengl) that flows through the open programs similar to Coverflo (this would be amazing) mix that with functionality.
How about when you open a new program, there is an onscreen popup that shows whats opening while the app is loading up. Similar to Opera or Winterface.
Maybe a unique Locksystem different from S2u2 and G1 Locker...Something graphical and beautiful. I love the growing panel and the fish panel for xperia, having something like that for a locker would be amazing....
I have dozens of ideas. but I'd say..
Music player=covered by S2P, Kinoma, Nitrogen
Pictureviewer=covered by imageviewer, s2v
Shells= too many to name
Iphoney= ad nauseum
I think we should be focus on making PPC more functional...That SMS app is really worth the time an effort as well.

This would be cool, although being a Windows user, I'd rather it be like Aero Flip than like Coverflow.
If you haven't seen it, check out TaskFacade -- it's more like Expose than Coverflow, but it's still a great app switcher with decent eye candy.

I've tried TaskFacade...love it..but it would be awesome to have a full blown beautiful app. I don't know if you've ever played around with Pocket Cm ImageViewer its amazingly beautiful. The way it displays pictures and how fingerfriendly it is it would be awesome to have taskmanager that flowed that smooth. Flick up on the application to end it, click on it to go to it. Would be amazing

Id love to have a Hulu Player but also would kill for a free Xbx Live app but i guess tht alrdy exist but the Hulu player is very orginal...Nice idea 8525Smart and i also like option 2

how about an onscreen semi-transparent dpad that can be toggled via a button on all apps? That way for phones without dpads or with dpads hat are not functional (touch pro) you can still use a dpad. This would help in gaming but also basic navigation.

You might consider putting your talents towards the finger friendly SMS application in the Development and Hacking section. They have nonfunctional, graphics only alpha versions, but they need developers to actually get the application functional. There's even a $275 bounty.

Thank you. Yes, with a Hulu player, the multimedia experience on Windows Mobile would pretty much be complete (at least for me).
Regarding the Xbox Live app, I did find one if you want it: http://ts.zumobi.net/partner_pages/partner/xbox

Best Note Taking Apps

I need a note taking apps for my class which allow me to
1. draw something like economic graph
2. type subscript and superscript
3. can type in real fraction, not using the "/" ex. a/b (this is optional)
I found that quickoffice or officesuite doesnt have a function for drawing graph...

Do you mean draw by hand or generate from data? Can you provide some examples, googling "economic graph" it just returns all kinds of charts.

A formula editor, try one of the many LaTeX editors and DeTeXify or Equation Notepad. Also give SuperNote a try, the one that comes with your TF700T, not from the Play Store.

It does, maybe not in the "word document" editor, but the "excel workbook" editor does. Also Polaris Office (which somes with your TF700T) can do charts

Thanks for giving me advice

If you want to handwrite your notes, there are quite a few I have found to be pretty useful this semester when taking notes.
First off, if you are looking for a way to convert your handwritten notes to text, take a look at WritePad; it is a complete keyboard replacement. While it only offers basic text conversion abilities, it really comes in handy if you use Evernote to store your notes. (Evernote's "Skitch" app now works on this tablet and could meets your needs for sub and superscript.)
Apps I've used lately for handwriting notes include:
-Papyrus Beta (A tad sluggish on my tablet)
-LectureNotes
-Handrite Note Free/Pro (Really smooth for me; similar to Supernote)
-PenSupremacy (Only gripe here is I can't get it to switch to landscape)
With "handwritten" notes you can draw up whatever you want to, so what you are looking for is possible with most of these apps.

Thanks, i will try all of them :fingers-crossed:

For drawing anything more sophisticated than a scribble, I'd recommend something most people don't take into consideration because they think it's only for artists: Photoshop, Infinite Painter or Sketchbook. Sketchbook has several free versions.
You can just save your graph into an image and import that into a document.
Handwriting I don't do on a tablet because I write too fast by hand for a touchscreen to keep up with. It usually turns out illegible and I end up wondering what the devil I wrote when I review them. :silly:

After I tried those notetaking apps, they are good but not really meet my needs
1. Papyrus Beta, laggy
2. LectureNotes, not support for keyboard, only handwrite
3. can't type in subscript and superscript
So is there any notetaking apps like LectureNotes+support keyboard?
I just want a combination with Keyboard + Draw simple graph + subscript and superscript

I have had great luck with 7notes $0.99. It has great handwriting recognition but also a note ability for you to just scribble your notes. It also works as a keyboard replacement. I find its very fast and was a lot less expensive and had better reviews than WritePad $9.99
