It's cool, alright. //--clip Description This project has created scientific firmware for the HP-20b and HP-30b business calculators. The WP 34S turns either of these business calculators into a powerful keystroke programmable scientific device. The WP 34S has been alive and stable since 2011. We have succeeded in satisfying the most picky users - read about their experiences on the http://www.hpmuseum.org/forum. In 2014, we've updated the WP 34S to version 3.3. The documentation for the WP 34S is excellent and comprehensive (see customer feedback); a print version is available from: https://www.createspace.com/5304580 We have also produced produced the WP 31S which is derived from the WP 34S source code. This is an entry-level scientific calculator. The printed manual for this calculator is available from: https://www.createspace.com/4773370 //--clip It's not a great time to be in the hardware business, though, no matter how cool this project is. I carried my 15C around from 1988 until last year, when it finally gave up the ghost, the victim surely of decades of abuse in tropical climates. The same week it kicked the bucket though, I found an app for Android that replicates the device exactly. On my Samsung Note 3 it's even approximately the same size! Not sure even I would go out and by a stand-alone device anymore. The only thing the app doesn't replicate is the awesome tactile feel of those raised buttons. Instead, the phone vibrates - slightly annoying.
