Bankers.

I used to pull out my TI 89 in meetings and senior guys would laugh. Little do they know I've got Phoenix and Drug Wars on that baby.

Thanks for hard work at Venture Beat - always enjoy the posts / link to them on my blog a fair amount.

Anthony, that is amazing, but being a little more senior I grew up with RPN devices and carry a 12C with me all the time. I will buy this app and leave the 12C home after I am comfortable with it. The fact that I can also take 15C with me will be astonishing. This far my iPhone has replaced:
Alarm clock
Palm pilot
Old CDMA phone
Travel camera
Home computer when on work travel

No I haven't. My initial impression was that the calculators were obsolete, given their age, but I tried to make it clear in the final paragraph that I appear to have been mistaken.

Anthony, have you ever used a 12c? I only ask because I read from your post and comment a strong sense of tone that the calculators are obsolete and for lack of a better word "tired", when in reality, they are far from a disgrace.

That being said, thanks for writing this article. 14.99 to not have to carry or look for one of my 12c's around with me everywhere is dirt cheap in my eyes.
