Off the screen and onto your desk: Mac OS X Calculator app done in atoms, not bits

app doen in atoms not bits....oh i get it! =]

i can see this being sold at my local Brookstone for a whopping $60

I love how the Mac calculator is thinner, too!

colouroflight and mike I guess you don't have to deal with a lot of percentage add ons to decimal numbers in the 4th and 5th place multiplied by many thousands. Jordan, thanks for the responsible tip about the sideways calc, but it works differently than the vertical model you buy everywhere in that to add percentages you must also press the = key to get the results. And the buttons are too small.

Does the XP one come with a BSOD?

I like the idea of having a bluetooth keyboard and I like Apple's keyboards, but the bluetooth one without a keypad just doesn't cut it for me. Having a keypad that is also a calculator would be cool, especially if it were bluetooth. But who wants to pay $100 for a keypad/calculator?

I'm sure it will not have a "Percent" key, same as the software one.

Totally useless!

I even use a $.99 third party calc on my iphone simply because Apple's built in calc doesn't have a percent key.

The Mac one is based on a software design that looks like a tangible object, so the "Aha!" factor isn't as immediate as it is with the Windows one.

I hope you can change it to scientific view and that it's got the RPN thing down. Otherwise it's a $1 calculator.

In Mintpass's defense, making a Windows Vista/7 calculator would require invisible circuitry, because of the transparency effects...

It's too bad they decided to emulate Tiger's now-dated brushed metal window style instead of the current look used in 10.5 and 10.6. In fact, it probably could've been achieved using a grey plastic shell, likely making it as inexpensive to produce as the Windows calculator. Otherwise, good GOD that's cool.
