Calculator for OpenMoko

[Jan Van Vlaenderen]

Looks nice.

Most of the time I need only those 4 operations, so this calculator suits me
very well.
I don't see a problem in having a second calculator ( a scientific one )
installed in openmoko too.
One we can use if we need a lot of mathematical power and one for "daily"
usage.

Keep up the good work.

If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your
attitude. Don't complain.
