Wow, a $30 calculator. This puts the pricing of Handmark games in a better light.

I have this calculator for a couple of versions. Generally, I like it with (2) exceptions. I have a QTEK 9000 and in landscape (my main mode) it does not fill the screen :( It appears square. Second, startup is slow and usage is a slugage. I hoped these would have been addressed in this version, but they were not :(

It also doesn't seem to have an "upgrade" price..... Nowhere near enough new functionality to justify full price again!

Yeah there is an upgrade price, 9.99USD

I am with drowe on this one, regarding the added functionality to justify the increased price. Also, I agree with GaryK on the sluggish startup, and it is not really addressed in the new version (seem a tad bit faster, but then, in the demo version, the problem may be disguised by the trial days countdown message).

Still the best calculator out there though. I would be interested in an upgrade for 9.99. Where did you see that, Jerry?

The upgrade is posted on the web site home page.

When I downloaded the update from pocketgear, there was no mention of the upgrade price. Each time I run 3.0 after a reboot, I get a message register or run old version. I hate getting nag screens for something that I bought. I don't need the functionallity of the new upgrades. I just was it to be faster and fill up the screen. Otherwise, I like the product very much.

I agree too, I noticed this slowness of 1-calc even on fast PPC like the Ipaq 2210.
On a Qtek 9100 with a TI omap processor it was even worse, like 6-8sec just to launch.

I dropped 1-calc for trancreative MxCalculator a long time ago.
Just give it a try, for me MxCalculator + Mx Converter is the best calculator / converter on the market.
And it's sold at 15US$, half the price of 1-calc :)

Thanks for picking up the slack. I was trying to post from my mobile device and it wouldn't let me! :evil:
