That's Moore's law in action over the longer term. A device like the iPad back when the HP-35 was introduced would have been (1) impossible to make and (2) would have cost millions of $ given the number of transistors in the device (besides the fact that the internet is what makes an iPad useful). You really can't compare those numbers, yes, the HP was a consumer device, but the manufacturer of any consumer device back then would have been happy to sell in those numbers. The good news is now it can be yours for under $2 if you already have an iPhone: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/rpn-35-sd/id956224485?mt=8 |
