Interesting --- and may sell a few extra but will not dent PALM sales......... SAN FRANCISCO, Sep 29, 1999 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Applian Technologies today announced that Applian's industry leading CoolCalc programmable calculator software would be included in Compaq's new ultra-thin Aero 1530 and color Aero 2180 palm-size PC devices. "Compaq is doing everything right to make these new palm-size PC devices a tremendous success, and we're happy to contribute," said Bill Dettering, President of Applian Technologies. "Our mutual customers will have CoolCalc, the easiest-to-use, most innovative calculator software on their Aero 1530 and 2180, the smallest and most powerful palm-size PCs, respectively. Along with their other fine attributes, these devices now become killer number-crunching machines. As people start to use these devices more and more, they will realize what powerful, amazing things they can do." Applian's CoolCalc is a 10-in-one calculator and a calculator construction kit. CoolCalc comes with easy-to-use calculators that include business, scientific, RPN, computer math, currency, dates, loans, future value of money, and more. In addition, CoolCalc allows users to create their own calculators or modify the built-in ones. Users can create their own functions using macros, assign custom functions to calculator buttons, and create their own calculator layouts. The size, position, color, and label of any button is completely customizable. "CoolCalc is a great showcase for the Aero 1530 and 2180," said Christian Bubenheim, Manager Marketing Aero Handheld products at Compaq. "Our advanced reflective 64K-color TFT display on the Aero 2180 and high-contrast 16-grayscale screen on the ultra-thin Aero 1530, along with the fast processor make applications like CoolCalc really shine. CoolCalc is one of the many quality software tools that come with our new machines."
