Also, I don't think apps built on these APIs will be able to go live until much later this year when the major OS update is released.Īnyway, I started this project because I was moving from the iPhone to WP7 to develop other apps and I just couldn't live without Thomas' program! It made a good test case for my first WP7 app and I hope those of you on the WP7 platform enjoy it. Gotta see what the APIs look like before I know what's involved. I was thinking of looking into using this in version 2.0 to implement program import and export (either to cloud or desktop) and printout file download. In May, Microsoft is releasing 2500 new APIs for WP7 developers including sockets support. I'll also take a look at the 30ish time functions to see what's involved, but not sure when I'll get to implementing them. I wasn't familiar with the ASIN and INVRT issues, so I'll look into those soon. As I progressed, I also had to scale back on some features as the project was taking a long time and I decided to concentrate on the baseline functionality of the original HP-42S (hence the lack of extended functions for time, gps, etc). Vincent, to answer your question on the source version, 1.4.63 happened to be the source I had at my disposal when I decided to start this project. Thomas, thanks for posting about the WP7 version here! Re: Free42 for Windows Phone 7 - Steven Ray - 05-02-2011 I hope I've made it clear that I am *not* offering support for that port if anyone discovers a problem with it, they should contact Steve, not me. In case it sounds like I'm contradicting myself, given that this thread started with me mentioning the WP7 port: I think that that port is worth mentioning, on this forum, because any HP calculator emulator is a matter of interest here. Re: Free42 for Windows Phone 7 - Paul Dale - 05-02-2011 One of these days I may get the energy to do something about that.Įdited:, 3:44 a.m. That one is published by a pure leech, not to mention a GPL violator. (*) Except for the INFOWISE iPhone version (I don't mean Byron Foster's iPhone version!). I hope I've made it clear that I am *not* offering support for that port anyone who discovers a problem with it should contact Steve, not me. I have no problem with third-party ports, even commercial ones, in fact I like all of them (*), but when it comes to endorsing or supporting them, I think I should focus on promoting the ones that I can actually support myself. I removed all the links to third-party Free42 ports from my web site a few months ago, because none of them were being kept in sync with my releases in a timely manner, if at all. Re: Free42 for Windows Phone 7 - Thomas Okken - 05-02-2011 Why not putting a link (with a disclaimer of course, that you did not supervise this) to this version from your website ? it will certainly increase your user base :) Re: Free42 for Windows Phone 7 - Vincent Weber - 05-01-2011 Regarding his plans to bring 42S in sync with the latest Free42 bug fixes and enhancements, you'll have to ask the author himself. Converting everything to C# was a big task and Steve told me it took several months overall. I assume 1.4.63 was the current version when he started. Re: Free42 for Windows Phone 7 - Thomas Okken - 04-30-2011 What I can't understand is, why did he base this on Free42 1.4.63, which is a version without the TIME functions, and with two remaing bugs (ASIN and INVRT) ? Did he tell you if there is a particular reason, or if he will upgrade to the latest core any soon ?Īnyway, interesting to know that Free42 is now available, with various degrees of maturation, on every mobile plateform that has a future for sure (Symbian is dead, and we still don't know about WebOS). So, after all, somebody undertook the monstruous task to convert Free42 from C++ to C# ! :) Re: Free42 for Windows Phone 7 - Vincent Weber - 04-30-2011 Re: Free42 for Windows Phone 7 - Walter B - 04-30-2011 +- Thread: Free42 for Windows Phone 7 ( /thread-183352.html)įree42 for Windows Phone 7 - Thomas Okken - 04-29-2011ĭisclaimer: I didn't create this port, and I haven't tried it myself since I don't have a WP7 phone, but I thought I'd mention it: Free42 for Windows Phone 7 - Printable Version
