Many of you may have already heard of Texas Instruments' excellent
calculators; most importantly, the (currently) top-of-the line TI-89/92 and,
for high school students, the most recommended TI-84 series.
1.. These calculators can be much more powerful than native Windows Mobile
calculators
2.. They are free (as opposed to some commercial Windows Mobile
calculators), assuming, of course, you have the original device
3.. while there are some excellent unit conversion apps for Windows Mobile
(for example, Burr Oak Software's Conversions In Hand, Fann Software's
ConverterCE Pro or TranCreative's MxConverter Comprehensive Edition for
Pocket PC), the built-in unit conversion capabilities of these calculators
are excellent (example screenshot HERE (accessible after pressing 2nd + 3 on
a TI-89) and HERE)
4.. may already be well-known to you if you've actively been using them in
real life (no need to learn the interface of a new calculator software - you
can just go on with your already well-known one)
5.. have GREAT third-party software add-on support (as far as the newer
models, manufactured in the last 14-15 years, are concerned)
