That's because my three-year-old son, an iPhone fan in his own preschool way, is about to be exposed to Hewlett-Packard's new iPhone application that fully emulates the company's 12c financial calculator."</em></p><p><em><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1246612213.usr105634.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></em></p><p>This is a great calculator, that can do just about everything except wash your clothes. I've had one since the early 80's, in fact I still have the original one I purchased when I started college. Then the price was about $129.00 US, a hefty sum back then to be sure (only $80.00 US now however). Now you can get <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=318954345&mt=8" target="_blank">one</a> in the iTunes store for $14.99 US, and get the <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=318956846&mt=8" target="_blank">15C</a> version for $29.95 US (more suitable for scientific calculations). I think the biggest plus about this whole deal is you don't have to try and find those small batteries that no one seems to carry!</p>
