Here’s the scenario.  You’re taking an advanced math class that requires a calculator with advanced features.  You already paid God-knows-how-much for a nice WinMo smartphone, and can’t afford a fancy calculator.

What do you do?  Make your smartphone a fancy calculator.  Calctor, by Tommy Carlier, is a calculator with advanced features that keeps it simple.  This is Calctor.

Very simple.  I like that variable feature.  To be honest, I like it much better than the default WinMo calculator.  Calctor also comes with documentation for all of its commands and functions.

It’s written in C#, so you’ll have to install the .NET Compact Framework 2.0 before you can run it, but don’t most phones have it by default now?  It’s also open-source, so folks can mess with the source code and figure out how it works.  I’m currently in the process of porting it to BlackBerry.

Give it a try!

They also have a desktop version that works the same way.  I use that too!
