What's up with all these fancy calculators and no Reverse Polish Notation - I take offence, how am I supposed to and figure out what I would be if I was not Polish, err, that's right I'd be Canadian! :P

Check out Pocket 12C (or Pocket 15C if you want a scientific calculator) from Lygea. These are EXCELLENT replicas of the RPN HP 12C and 15C calculators - complete to the smallest detail (as far as I can see).
BTW, Stay clear of the Pocket HP-48GX on Handango. It's someone illegally selling the Emu48CE emulator!!!!!

I'm still using the same HP 41CV I picked up in 1982. I can't believe my calculator turned twenty last month! I'd love to find a software package to replace it on my PPC, but so far I haven't been that impressed with them. And yes, it has to use RPN! :lol:
Any suggestions?

I too can only use RPN calculators - I've had a HP-42S since it came out, and a HP-48G for the last few years. I have yet to find the perfect Pocket PC calculator as yet, but give these a whirl.
Lygea Pocket 15C This is a very good version of the 15C, but its functionality is limited compared to the more advance HP calculators.
CalcNow Nice fast RPN calculator with a clean look, but misses base conversion... although it is extendable so I may give it a whirl - If the author reads this can the display handle Hex numbers?
Calc98 Probably the most powerful native calculator I've used. UI is a bit clunky though... It would be nice to have finger pushable buttons without shrinking the function keys to the size of a grain of sand.
Emu48CE Very powerful, but the speed and UI issues (as well as the size) have put me off. Your expriences may be better.
If anyone else knows of a good RPN calculator (with base conversion and logic functions), please let me know

Personally, I am an HP 17B-II man. I had the original 19B and hated the algebra and found the batteries (some goofy "N" cell) were too expensive and hard to find. Got a 17B-II as soon as it came out in the late 80's and have never looked back. RPN all the way! The tactile feel of HP's keys are 2nd to none. TI's will die after heavy usage in 2-3 years, though I admit I never tried a $50+ TI calc, but HP's $30 calcs have the same keys as the $200 calcs.

The HP-42S (which is my main day-to-day calculator) is basically the scientific version of the 17B-II. Why they don't make it any more is beyond me. I'm thinking of making a trip to Ebay to fine a spare in case mine breaks down (although at 15 years and still going strong it's likely to outlive me ;-)
I contacted Lygea to see if they were likely to be working on a more advanced RPN scientific calculator, but their response was not hopeful.

I wish a developer would create the 48g or newer on PPC. I would one less device to carry around.
