About RPN-65 SD
World's first pocket computer! Now running on your iPhone.
RPN-65 SD is the iPhone version of RPN-65 Pro, the first complete simulation of Hewlett-Packard's stunning HP-65 programmable calculator for iOS. Produced from 1974 to 1977 at an initial price of $795 (that's close to $5,000 today!), the HP-65 was a breakthrough. Not only was it programmable, it also contained a motorized magnetic card reader - and still fit into Bill Hewlett's shirt pocket.
Experience this revolutionary calculator on your iPhone. With over 180 original HP programs included with the app, you can get started right away.
"A work of art. Fantastic!" (MacBreak Weekly, episode 572)

Sep 18, 2023
• Backstepping from step 001 to 000 in modes UI and Plus is now supported. In addition, step 000 is labeled as "[TOP]".
• In vintage mode, typing "GTO.digit" and "LBL.digit" would not start a number entry.
• Also in vintage mode, single-stepping an instruction like LBL 5 would not be executed as on a real HP-65 when the mode switch was flipped to W/PRGM and back to RUN between steps "LBL" and "5".
[Thanks, Vincent]
