Simple program. 3.66 seconds on my Palm TX. Not too bad. Its nice to know where all of these palm devices fit in the speed hierarchy!

Nice program! the wrist PDA took 9.62 seconds for 400 digits. and I thought that it would be slow...

0.2 has a bug: It can only accept numbers start with "1". I'm using 0.2a now and it is really good!

hmm, the rest of my review got cut off. Anyways, using v0.2a of this app, on my Tungsten T3 2.87s in portrait mode, 2.89s in landscape mode. With RealOne Player on, 3.88s and 3.90s in portrait and landscape modes respectively. On my zodiac2 4.88s and 7.4s without and with the Zodiac's MP3 player playing in the background respectively. On my Zire 71, 9.88s and 19.88s without and with the RealOne Player playing in the background respectively. Interesting app to say the least.

Great benchmark util. On my Zire(@32MHz) it took 11.88(!) seconds for 400 digits :) I'm proud of my Palm :)

my Tungsten T5 benchmarked in 2.75 seconds without any enhancements. a very straight forward app. it does what is supposed to do very well.

wow. This basic freeware app supports hi-res+. Not a much more, terribly useful feature, but appreciated none of the less for those of us with nothing better to do with our DIA :)

My Palm e E took 9.17 sec. The old program was 28 secs, so the program is certainly faster. But there is a PROBLEM. The highest number i can input 1s 117. The program will not accept numbers higher than that.

Fine, it took my Tungsten T5 a stunning 2.76 seconds...

I'm very disappointed in my pda: Sony Clié P770C/E@50Mhz took 16,3 sec. for 400 digits =\

Good Program. My Zire 72 Takes 5.47s to calculate to 400 decimal places and 729.02 to 4680.

Great program. It took my Zire 72 5.48 seconds to calculate pi to 400 decimals.

Nice.... it took 20sec on my SJ22.

It took my Palm Zire 21 18.1 sec to run the benchmark.

Tungsten T3 = 4.28 seconds running benchmark... default clock speed!

Hey, cool stuff. Took my Clie 7.14 seconds in the benchmark. Not bad at all.

Very nice app. Any chance of releasing the sorce code? Would like to see how it all works. Took my palm Vx 40.83 seconds for 400 digits.

Fun tool, can *really* measure overclock benefits, my palm 515(@37mhz) took 20.93 seconds...

Cool, Palm Tungsten E takes 17.98 seconds, I'll have to crank up the old IIIc to try it.
***** [Jul 9, 2004] by Leon Durivage
Fun little utility. Took my Treo 600 14.33 Seconds for 400 places.
