I don't know how to answer your questions directly, but your app was my favourite pick of the ones that were public prior to submission, and probably remains so. See:

The support for typing and formatting equations must have been a lot of work and it seems very usable for such a young application. I'd love to have a phone to run it on. It reminds me a little bit of Frink:

If you are looking for ideas, I'd love to see some combination of Frink's breadth with handCalc's interface and formatting.

My submission is not a new idea, it's just a calculator like which is available on every handset. I just want it to be the most amazing one. Like many of your submissions, it didnot win the challenge. I am confused and depressed in the past week. I don't know whether such an application about calculation meets the requirement. If people don't need calculator, why most cellphones have one on them. I feel it has lost it's means and it's future since it lost the challenge. What could I do now? Anyone give me some suggestions?
