The Emacs Calculator (2009)

And an HP48 emulator is still what I use on my phone as a calculator.

For the reason you mention, I need to get into the habit of using Calc for my quick calculations; right now, I usually use Google (ick, infix notation) or dc.

I've have Free42 on my Android phone. Do you have a particular emulator to recommend?

Thank you. I saw that one. Some of the more recent critical comments (stability, responsiveness) gave me some pause.

I'll give it a go.

I'm the same! None of the native RPN apps even come close.

RPN is so efficient when you are running a series of calcs when you learn it. I feel icky now if I use algebraic input or calculator and I have to backspace. It's like using a word processor, not a calculator! I am in Emacs all day for all things. It is a big mess of a world I like muddying about in!
