New High-End HP Calculator?

Posted by Hemos on from the graph-the-heck-out-of-it dept.

mschaef writes "There's a pretty convincing looking story over on hpcalc.org describing a new high-end HP calculator. The bottom line: 75MHz ARM9, USB Port, IrDA compatibility, 128x80 display, and a slot for SD cards. It also looks like the same basic software is running, either ported or via emulation of the venerable Saturn (HP-propriatary) CPU. The full story is over at HPcalc.org. It's good to see HP back in the game (hopefully) like this."

  1. Reliability? by dave_f1m · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Great, but can I treat it like a hammer, and still have it work? You know, grab it, punch out a few calculations, and toss it aside without much care where it lands.

  2. Time to upgrade? by dbowden · · Score: 5, Insightful
    When I was younger, the rule I followed was to always upgrade to the next generation of calculator after I'd understood all of the functions of the previous one.

    Is it time to go to this one yet?

    No... I'm still doing fine with my old 28S
