Does it have both methods or only RPN?

Thx,

Hi DJW,

The FIN-12C version 1.0 that's in the App Store presently only supports RPN.

Would the Algebraic entry method be forthcoming in a future version?
Then I would pay for it right now!

Hi Josh,

That's something I would definitely like to do, as I think it would make this great calculator useful for people who don't use RPN.  However, I'm sorry but I can't really make any promises at this point.

If and when it is implemented though, you can expect an announcement here and the feature will be listed in the AppStore.

Hi Tom,

Would also like to say "me too" for this feature :) Would also
appreciate it on the 11C...

Great job BTW :)

Algebraic mode would be nice, I agree. Like the platinum. I should
probably just learn to be fast with RPN

My only request is that, if you add algebraic entry, you make it an
option from the settings menu, rather than turning this calculator
into a 12c Platinum. I guess I'm a 12c geek, but I really like how
closely this one emulates the *original* 12c. Please keep it simple!

Well I on the other hand think that it should be a separate product,
for a complete emulation of the 12c Platinum. People who like the
classic 12c can get the classic one then.

Just FYI for everyone, here's a version of the 12c Platinum released
for the iPhone with ALG entry.

As much as I like Thomas' approach, the inclusion of ALG entry method
is taking too long IMHO and essential for me. I'm still debating which
one to pay money for.
