New HP 50 G ?

Next: Linux emulators
From: timite_h on 30 May 2006 04:16 Yes. I think that producing a HP50G(which is what the HP49G+ should have been) is the last thing to do especially if they have even the single hope to get a significant share of the calculators market. HP i should design a new generation of calculators both for educationnal and professionnal(if calculators are still useful for professionnal) purpose. According to me all educationnal graphing calculators(high end and low end) should have nowadays this minimum: *A high resolution touch sensitive screen *A more graphic interface to fully take advantage of touch sensitive screen *A decent keyboard as the touch screen must be an improvement to calculators and shouldn't remove one good feature of calculators:a great keyboard for computations *Pretty Print and Equation Writer even for purely numeric calculators Also it is time that so call high end graphing calculators(besides the HP48/49 series) have more advanced graphing abilities such as 3d parametric surfaces plotting. It is a shame that none calculators besides the HP48/49 series had this feature. ME a écrit : > hp is obviously off track and flailing wildly at best.

From: Gene on 30 May 2006 12:14 which calculators would you put this graphing capability ON? The 33S? ? The 39g+ and 40gs aren't designed for high-end graphing but students, so that's why it's not on those. No other models have big screens, so that's why it isn't on them. If they had big screens, they'd be more expensive and you would have a unit the size of the 48/49. Gues I don't understand why you want these features on non-high end calculators. I wouldn't imagine a numeric only $40 calculator with a screen big enough for an equation writer like you suggest.

I really dont agree with you : >*A high resolution touch sensitive screen Yes for a better resolution and better display, and perhaps colors ;) Nothing to do for me with a sensitive screen. It's not very imporant for me. >*A more graphic interface to fully take advantage of touch sensitive >screen I don't want this... >*A decent keyboard as the touch screen must be an improvement to >calculators and shouldn't remove one good feature of calculators:a >great keyboard for computations Yes. The keyboard of my 49g+ is decent but could be more decent. In my opinion, i want a 49g+'like with : - better screen, - better resolution (at least the double). 320x200 would be perfect. I dont want more ;) - better keyboard, - a better autonomy (I want more than one year ;) , - a better hardware (the colors of my 49g+ disappear !) - a smaller machine (I want to put it in my pocket, something like a 42s) and it must be a pleasure to have it in hands I don't want a PDA'like Gilles

Where do i say that these features should be put on on the HP33S ? Where in my post do i talk of non graphing calculators ? And i don't see how such features would significantly increase the price of a low end graphing calculator. Moreover i was not asking for advanced graphing features such as 3D parametric surfaces plotting for low end graphing calculators. Btw there are already basic scientific calculators with both Pretty Print and basic equation writer from Casio. |
