Yes, that. There is Android app for emulating Elektronika MK54/MK61
calculator (switchable) - RPN, programmable (I have not programmed it
yet). Very nice. Does not want any peculiar access rights, if memory
serves. Also, fascinating, in some inexplicable way. I am using it
because built-in calc app is a crap and at a time when I was looking,
this one was the most decent of the few I tried. It has some fancy
quirks - only eight significant digits - maybe some more quirks, as it
claims to be bit-for-bit compatible, and there were errors in original
hardware (again, if memory serves). But I like it.
