FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SAN DIEGO, CA, February 2nd, 1998 - Odyssey
Computing is proud to announce its partnership with Compaq
Computer Corp. Pocket BizCalc for Windows CE 2.0 will
now be included with Compaq’s new C-Series PC Companion
H/PCs. This bundling agreement elevates the straight
out-of-box experience for Compaq H/PC users by providing
a powerful and programmable financial/business calculator.
Using RPN logic, Pocket BizCalc performs the following
calculations as well as others: Loan/Mortgage, Discounted
Cash Flow (NPV, IRR), Bond, Compound Interest, Leasing,
Actuarial and Markup Functions, Depreciation, Amortization
Schedule, making it the premier financial calculator
software. It also incorporates a powerful tape display
that can be annotated, date/time stamped, and saved.
According to Paul Gottsegen, Director
PC Enhancement and Monitors Division, Compaq, "Bundling
Pocket BizCalc fits perfectly with Compaq's mission
to provide
business solutions for mobile professionals. The Pocket
BizCalc user interface transforms the Compaq C-Series
product into a powerful handheld financial calculator.
This makes it possible for the business user to carry
one device, the C-Series, while having the functionality
of multiple machines"
"Pocket BizCalc is not your typical Windows CE
software application that is usually a stripped-down
version of its desktop counterpart. Pocket BizCalc not
only fully emulates the Hewlett-Packard HP-12C, one of
the best selling financial calculators of all time, but
also adds many other powerful features. Pocket BizCalc
international language support with its new US and International
English, French, German, and Italian versions reflects
the universal appeal of the program," stated Gary
Fong, Director of Business Development at Odyssey Computing.
PC Magazine recently selected BizCalc as one of the Top
25 Utilities Software Titles in their 1997/98 Annual
Buyers’ Guide.
Dedicated to developing leading-edge solutions for mobile
professionals, Odyssey Computing enables handheld PC
users to have the power and flexibility of desktop Windows-based
software in the palm of their hands.
Availability: Pocket BizCalc is currently
available at the estimated street price of $39.95.
