Sam, thank you for blogging about Calctor Mobile. It was a hobby project a while ago and I'm happy that people like it. If you need help porting it or understanding the source code, just let me know.

The desktop version has the input and output panel in the same window (input on top, output on bottom) and the results are calculated while you're typing, but I changed the form factor in the mobile version, because the screen is a lot smaller and also because Windows Mobile does not have the same rich text output capabilities. I use a WebBrowser control for the output and constantly updating it does not look good.

I'm not sure that I like the separate input and output windows. I would have had a small input pane at the bottom of the window and displayed the output above that (sort of like some IM products).

Also, don't forget about good old Calc98. It doesn't allow naming variables, but it has tons of functions. I'm not sure if you can still get the older version for free (the download page says that you can) or if you can only get the paid new version.

I already have the old version from years ago, but let us know if you can still get it for free.
