I have not so fond memories of those huge calculators from TI from school. They always went along with reams of homework it seems. TI has announced a new iPhone app called BAII Plus is now available on the app store.
The calculator app isn’t cheap at $14.99, but as I recall the real calculators can cost upwards of $100 or so. The app is a financial calculator that will operate on the iPhone and iPod touch.
The app is aimed at realtors, accountants, stockbrokers and anyone else who use complex financial equations. The CPU in the iPhone is fast enough to make quick work of the calculations according to TI.
Shane,
It looks like this app is meant to mirror the company’s BAII Plus financial calculator which sells for $30-$40. The BAII Plus does not have the graphing ability of the ti-83, ti-84 series calculators that are used often in high school in college and cost upwards of $100. Though it’s still a pretty good deal.
Shane,
I think this app is awesome, but please do your homework! A ten-second Google search revealed that the BA-II Plus retails for $29.72 at Wal-Mart, $27.99 at NewEgg, and $30.99 at BestBuy. Has retailed for around $27 for about a decade now (which means that, relative to inflation, the price of that device drops every year).
