In Numworks: open-source, Python-compatible handheld graphing calculator
I very much like the idea of this calculator, particularly since it has a python implementation. However, there are a couple of caveats - it uses binary arithmetic, though since release it seems they've improved the accuracy, and also I'm not sure how free this license is[1]. For something that isn't open-source, but uses RPN and has quad-precision binary-encoded decimal precision the DM42 looks really nice[2].
