Play Skyrim on a calculator (sort of)!
For developers and programmers testing the limits of low-end technology, the ultimate test used to be trying to squeeze a working port of the first person shooter game Doom onto the device. YouTube user no9sniper goes several steps more…
LEXON fire first shot in The Great Calculator War with the 'Jet'
I found one of these in a friend’s drawer last week, (and one of these in a box at home actually, you can kiss my feet and get my autograph later) and came to the conclusion ‘pocket’ calculator design reached its zenith in the early 80’s.
LEXON have since taken umbrage at my comments and announced an aluminum alloy sliding-phone style calculator which hides the screen when closed. It is available from April at KRW 42,000 (£21) for the silver version and KRW 52,000 (£26) for the gold.
Lexon Roswell: the most purdy calculator yet?
Wow, people still use calculators? I thought that sort of thing was handled by mobile phones or PC apps now. I use an abacus, obviously. Anyway, the Lexon Roswell calculator is almost enough to tempt me back, being a space-age device modelled on a flying saucer. Well, the base is.

The world's best (alright, only) robot-shaped calculator
Surely a calculator-shaped robot would be a cooler thing to have in your pencil case? You could let it out in exams to shoot lasers at the invigilator while you crib quadratic equations answers from the person next to you. It’s daydreams like this that stopped me getting a decent Maths GCSE grade, incidentally.
Anyway, US gadget site Perpetual Kid is selling the less attractive option, a robot-shaped calculator…
