This is nice, and it would be great in a pinch.

However, one of the great things about a good, real, calculator is that when you get it all figured out, you can use it without looking at the keys. This is the Achilles heal of the iPhone.

So, will people use it? Sure they will. But, will the pros replace their calculators with an iPhone? Nope. The lack of buttons would slow them down too much.

I know of a good graphing calc for Windows Mobile by Raven Digital (RDcalc on handango) maybe they can port it to your beloved iphone….

I think we’re all still waiting for a graphing calculator on the iPhone so that we don’t have to lug around our TI-84s.
