HP Classic Calculators on the iPhone

In what will turn out to be either a wonderful, nostalgic emulation adored by millions, or an overpriced, needless add-on that makes a sensational explosion when it crashes, Hewlett Packard is releasing an iPhone application that puts an exact replica of a classic HP calculator at your disposal.

According to reports, if you use the app when holding your iPhone in landscape mode, you will get a visual replica of one of HP's classics - the 12C Financial, 12C Platinum or 15C Scientific. That's the good news. The bad news is that these apps will set you back $14.99, $19.99, and $29.99 US respectively.

Nostalgia usually comes with a price, whether it's revisiting fashion horrors, bad hair styles, or other embarrassments you'd rather forget. At least this time the price is quantified.
