Also recommended: If you live an active life, you might want to
consider a protective metal case for your handheld computer. HERE is
one website that offers a wide variety of cases custom-made for most
types of handheld computers. Look for your handheld computer type
on their "Range of Products" list on the left side of their website.

Compatible Pocket PC
& Windows Mobile Devices:

LectriCalc and Master Bender are compatible
with all modern Pocket PC/Windows Mobile handheld computers with the following exceptions:

  • The square screens on the  Palm Treo 700w and Treo 750 cause screen font problems we have not overcome.

  • If you have a Windows Mobile handheld with a "touchscreen", our software will probably run fine on it. If your handheld doesn't have a touchscreen our software may not work for you. If your handheld does not have a touchscreen, you may still be able to run the Palm OS version of LectriCalc and Master Bender on your Windows Mobile handheld by installing StyleTap on your handheld.
