OMG! Best calculators ever made, now on the iPhone/iPod touch! I still use the 12c my Dad bought me more than 20 years ago. It seems that HP still sells the exact same model, their longest and best-selling product. Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) always made sense to me. Nerd in the making.

Each app uses the original ROM code and provides an exact visual replica of the actual horizontal-format calculator, making it familiar to users of the originals. The $15 HP 12c and $20 HP 12c Platinum provide the same business-focused functions and formulas as the hardware models, and the $30 HP 15c includes all of the original’s scientific algorithms and calculation sequences, including matrix, root, and complex-number functions. All three apps are also, like their hardware counterparts, programmable.
