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. Cheating in Exams? by captainclever · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Hmm... I doubt it'll be allowed in exams or tests if it's got infra-red capabilities.

    People might find it all to easy to chat and exchange answers on the sly if their calculators can communicate silently.
