HP Releases Hackable ARM-Based Calculator
mikeselectricstuff writes "HP's 20b business consultant calculator isn't the sort of thing that would normally interest the average Slashdotter, but HP has released a Devkit for it, including schematics and source for a sample application, and they appear to be actively encouraging people to re-purpose it. Maybe the engineers thought a business calculator was just too boring for their hardware? The calculator is based on an Atmel ARM chip, and it has a bootloader and JTAG interface to allow user applications to be written and downloaded, turning a boring calculator into anything you can do within the constraints of the hardware."
But how do I embed the calculator in my arm? Knife and some glue?
If you want it to.
Some assembly required... and maybe some C++.

I bet the first thing I'd turn it into would be a brick.

Whoever is in charge of decisions like this at HP really needs to be hired at Apple.
Right...Like anyone who worked at HP would ever get very far at Apple...
This guy's the limit!
