Some are even open source:

https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.jovial.jrpn15 (15C)
https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.jovial.jrpn (16C)

I never used either of these back in the day (I got through my college-level
math classes with a TI-68), but I've lately been using the 15C emulator more
and more instead of the stock Android calculator.

I'd worked on a couple of Forth projects so thinking like Yoda is not a 
problem.

As industrial controllers transitioned from relays to solid state I worked 
with Square D's Norpak.  The heart of the system was cards with 20 iirc 
TTL NOR gates that you wired together on the back plane using jumpers with 
tapered pin terminations. You can do anything with NOR gates including 
suffering a psychotic episode. There were also cards with inverters so you 
could get to OR or AND eventually.

I haven't seen that. I got detailed training on PLCs, but I didn't get 
the chance to actually work with them.

PLCs were the next generation. It was a learning experience for everyone 
involved. 120 VAC relay logic was virtually bullet proof. Industrial 
plants tend to have large 3-phase induction motors, forklift chargers, 
prehistoric 550 vAC elevators and other good stuff so electrically 
speaking it's a very dirty environment and a lot of smoke was let out of 
the early solid state devices.

The lessons learned were incorporated in PLCs and most of them used the 
ladder logic metaphor that was familiar to plant electricians. I thought 
that would be sort of a transitional crutch but I was surprised when I 
interviewed a candidate a few years ago who had mentioned PLC experience 
on his resume to find that ladder diagrams were still the typical 
interface.

I had one around that time, too. It had died by about the 1990s. One of my 
exercises in Android programming, back in the day, was to create an 
emulator for it.

Wow!

I don't know if mine have died. The batteries certainly.

I wrote a sort of moon rocket or flight simulator on both, using all the 
capacity. I have lost track of the code, though.

A fully-programmable computer already has more compute functionality than 
any calculator.

Instead of a calculator app, I have Jupyter running all the time on my 
main machine. I open a scratch notebook, and use that for quick 
calculations, by typing just a few lines of Python code.

If need be, I can do 2D and 3D colour plots with Matplotlib.

I'm waiting with bated breath. I've gotten a few notifications from Google 
telling me how Gemini is going to make my life so much better. The sooner 
I can have a working phone that is not tied to Google or Apple the better.

I'm not sure that thing will catch. There is an ecosystem of apps people 
want to run on their phones and not on the computers. I have no use for 
the current Linux tools on my phone.

You must make up your mind, whether you want to have tools as powerful
as that in your pocket or not.

I do want the type of tools that I have in my current Android phone. I 
would like the same thing with more privacy even if I have to pay for 
it, if price is fair and good. I do not want a Linux (nor Windows).

Apps that *designed* to work with a finger. Maps, banking apps, firefox, 
mail, weather, whatsapp, etc.

Apps that are aware of my location, like the app I use to pay for 
parking on the correct street on several cities here.

You already have a Linux. Linux is just the OS, with a whole choice of 
GUIs and userlands that package up that functionality in many different 
ways. Android is just one of them.

Fun fact: Jupyter (the app I was talking about) does its whole GUI through 
the web browser. And you already have your choice of web browsers on 
Android.

I don't think my bank does an app for Linux phones. That's just a 
crucial app, there are more.

That is part of what killed the Windows phone. I don't have banking apps 
but I do have several I use daily. One is a Fitbit fitness app. Since 
Google bought Fitbit I doubt if they would create a Linux version. Even 
the state's conservation permit is an app. I don't use the phone for X, 
reddit, browsing, and so forth but what I do use probably wouldn't be 
ported to Linux. 

As far as a phone, other than talking to my ex every couple of months I 
very rarely use it as a phone. Half the time if it rings I can't figure 
out how to answer without dropping the call.

    I have always wished for my computer to be as easy to use
    as my telephone.  My wish has become true because I can
    no longer figure out how to use my telephone.
