Agreed. Then I could use my iTouch while in Math class and surf the net
hahaha, exactly what I was thinking. Plus I could show it off then, lol.
Anyways, any of you experts have anything to say?
If you need those basic functions, go buy a scientific calculator for under $10. Just because this thing runs OS X seems to make people think that it needs to be able to do everything. It's good enough as it is... it's just an iPod.
because an ipod touch gives you music, web, chat, video, and one day graphing functions and you can tell your teacher to buzz off
I could see that as being an excellent app on the iPhone. Just look at the PEMDAS widget.
It's quite beautiful for a scientific calc (sans graphing function). You could try appealing to the devs of it and see if there is any possibility. Most likely they'll want to wait until a true dev kit comes out, if one ever does.

There are also rumors of a developer kit coming in January. That might make something like this more feasible.

That's what I was thinking. I didn't think you could have it actually graph it and show it to you in a diagram, but at least perform the functions of the widget.

Well it works on the Touch
You can't graph with it. To clarify write the devs and see if they are even interested in adding a graphing function to the widget.
I didn't realize you could run it on the touch. Sweet!Well it works on the Touch
Yeah it is! 10 times better than the default Calc widget (which is buggy).
Not what I meant. What I was asking is basically if you could put that widget on the ipt as an application, so you could perform those functions.

yeah I second that I want an excuse to whip it out in class.
There is one scientific cal made for the itouch where you can save it all in like the URL.
But graphing would be the best

i forget the name, but in installer.app, there is a program that allows widgets on mac osX to run. it is near the bottom of the whole list. if we use that app and then put the PEDMAS widget on the ipod touch, would it work?
Well I was looking on the Apple website and found this:

Haven't bothered trying it yet, but looks kinda promising. Would prefer it as a real app though

where can you download mac osx widgets, are they free, do you have to have a mac ( i have windows)
If you have wireless, you have calculator...
I was searching for this same kind of thing (the beginning of the thread), and found this website: http://iphav.com/Calculator/Calculator.html I tried it on my Touch and it works well enough.
