DB48X for iOS now available

[nickapos]

Tbh I learned about DB50x and DB40x from this thread. They are less known than DB48x. Under other circumstances I would go for DB50x since that is the hardware calculator I own.

For reference, here are some links to information and tutorials on the DB48X project.

I third this. An iOS version is useless for me, but an Android version would be great.

I'm looking forward to an Android app.

Yes, I would like to use a native DB50x app on my Android phone.

I have an Android phone, so count me in!

Of course an Android version would be great! No iOS in my house...

A couple of points about the DB* App Store pages.

1. The Db48x page has a couple of references to DB40x at the beginning that I assume were meant to be changed to DB48x.

2. The three apps really should emphasize the differences between them on the description pages - it is difficult to tell what is different.

I agree. For reference, Christophe (aka c3d) explains a summary of the differences a couple of posts back.

The idea was to let people choose between:
* a free app with limited features, e.g. no save. That's DB40X.
* an app that will track DB48X running on the DM42 as closely as possible. That app is currently limited in terms of the memory exposed to the user to roughly approximate the amount you get on a physical DM42. The rationale is that owners of a DM42 may want to share programs between the two and have identical behaviours and limits.
* an app that will track DB50X running on the DM32 as closely as possible. That app will have the user-accessible memory be closer to what you get on a DM32. I added colour as a bonus, to motivate people who do not own SwissMicros hardware to pick the more expensive option ;-)

He also mentions the following brief information for each app in the App Store:

DB40X: "DB40X is part of a family of compatible RPL calculators that include DB48X and DB50X. DB40X lacks the ability to write programs or data to disk, and RPL programs are limited to 40K."

DB48X: "DB48X is part of a family of compatible RPL calculators that include the free DB40X and the color DB50X."

DB50X: "DB50X is part of a family of related calculators that include the black-and-white DB48X and the entry-level DB40X."
