i think pecalk really is the perfect fit for an iphone, because calculators are roughly that size. So it's just like a natural extension of what people were familiar with,. You know, it can do things that a calculator can't do - you can reorder the buttons, and you can do all that stuff. i don't want to say i've gone beyond calculators, because that's silly, but you know what i mean?

This week, Federico and John introduce the fourth annual MacStories Selects award winners and interview the first MacStories Selects Lifetime Achievement award winner, James Thomson, the creator of PCalc.
