PCalc [$9.99 - iTunes link] is a great RPN Calculator for the iPhone but now developer James Thomson is curious as to what users would like to see in an iPad version. How curious? He's made a cardboard version to play around with (above) and is offering TiPb readers ten (10) FREE copies of PCalc to tell him what you think!

So, leave a reply below and let him know just exactly which features you'd like to see on that big 9.7" iPad screen. His favorite ten (10) answers will get a copy of PCalc for iPhone for FREE.

Give-away starts now and ends Monday at 12pm, PT. Promo codes require a US App Store account (Apple's rule, not ours).

Ability to enter a function and return results in a table format

[inthepit]

i would like to see graphing functions, or even matrices laid out in a table format. similar to what i TI-83 calc can do.

My favorite feature of the HP 50g is the equation writer, so PCalc having some type of "textbook" display would be great, especially on a bigger screen.

Given the great advantage of the accelerometer, I'd like to see graphing functions that spit out whole graphs and you can tilt sideways to get a bigger view.

Also zooming in and out of graphs and interacting with them. Say tapping a part of the graph will show you what point it is in the graph. With that huge screen, there's a potential to have gorgeous interactive graphs!

I would LOVE to see graphing capabilities. TI-89 stuff.

Secondly, I would be pleasantly surprised to see financial calculator functions. (PV, FV, I, N, ect.)

Maybe have an option that would allow you to draw the numbers/math signs with your fingers as if you're really doing math problems in a notebook or something. since the screen is so huge I think it would be perfect.

i would say graphing... being able to lay multiple graphs over eachother

Financial functions & graphing would be incredible. Essentially completely replace my TI calc.

The ability to label and define variables in equations as I did in my HP Business Analyst II) got me through B-School. As an interface, I'd love that fold-over book design with the text letter on the left side and the calculator functions on the right side. Of course, with all of that screen real estate, higher resolution graphing would be very nice. In general, though, I use the extra screen real estate to make the interface more user friendly rather than more function-stuffed complex.
