Well spotted on finding the trademark application but the name could
equally well apply to a new, low-end model.

Or even worse: a merchandising contract for the "Transformers 3" movie.

Here's to hoping they put the ENTER key back where it belongs.

NCTM conference is coming up next week.

I'm sure many calculator manufacturers will have something new/modified/upgraded to show.

Can't help but wonder....

Teachers are only interested in TI. I think math should be taught without a calculator. I've seen too many students who are calculator dependent. Besides, the human brain is the best calculator of them all! Do you think Euler kept a calculator in his shirt pocket?

Surely he would kept one if he had the chance, or what dou you think logarithms tables were made for?

Well, HP have a slot on Friday titled "unveiling graphing excellence".

The description starts with "Attend the unveiling of HP’s breakthrough calculator and discover new, exciting ways to approach mathematics learning."

So, is this just the US version of the 39GII (so far released in the far east & europe but not USA), or is HP Xpanding it's educational calculator line?

I'm a bit miffed as to how they managed to reintroduce the double-wide
ENTER key above the numbers, but on the right instead of left.

Who remembers when the "big ENTER key" first appeared on an HP handheld?

Do you happen to also remember on which side of the keyboard
the arithmetic operator keys happened to be? Any idea why?

What was the order (top to bottom) of those operator keys, and why?

Did Ed Liljenwall ever comment on these things,
or can you intuit what he might well have been thinking?

In none of the photos or video do I find any representation of the Prime being used as a calculator. I realize education is driving the bus in the scientific calculator business, but I'm worried this will be a frustrating tool for professionals. I really don't want to have to navigate an app screen before crunching numbers. Hopefully, it'll have a way to turn off all the 'helpful' UI cruft like the 48GX.

I totally agree! Thats the biggest plus of my 48SX over all the others I tried. It's a bit like working in a shell vs. working with windows. Maybe we are a small dying group of shell users out there... ;-(

I don't see RPN on this like there is no RPN on 39gII. :-(. In the available 39gII Manual is nothing to read about stack or RPN.

The only chance I saw here is a community driven OS replacement if the Hardware is as good as it looks.

Ideed there is no RPN on the 39GII.

However, the Prime will have RPN entry mode, but not for programming (no RPL or SysRPL). Programming will apparently be similar to the 39GII, a bit Pascal-like. See posts by TW in this thread:

That's sounds good. Programming in other languages ist no problem. If the new Prime works as a good RPN calculator and RPN isn't only another app I'll give it a try. ;-)

But the practicability of RPN in the 48SX was significant higher through RPL. All the object handling was on one level. Complex numbers, equations, units, matrix, etc. all of them come together on one working environment. That was the biggest advance for me against all other handhelds where you have to open an app for each problem domain.

For larger problems/programs RPL was not so ideal. But then I switch to my Mac, Python, Xcode, Maple... and sometimes to my iPad. But I still need real keys for quick and secure calculations.

Although they've clearly copy and pasted specs from the 50g. No wonder some of the rumors got it wrong.
