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!

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 ![Smile](images/smilies/smile.gif)
