The difference of course, pocket calculators have always had a very different, far less specific set of features to home PCs/PDAs and have traditionally been built for niche science/maths tasks.
Why start shifting calculators away from their original uses when PDAs are already available for the less specific functions such as nice graphics, sound, GPS and offer the same portability?

Calculators that feature games and compile C programs, sounds to me like another example of bundling lots of unrelated features into the same hardware.
