Joerg, Now I understand better what you told me at HHC2007 about the prototypes that made you really wish you had them. The models looks nice. I feel that the general designs still have potential ... as long as they have a USB port and/or and SD card reader. Namir

When a calculator gets down to essentially having no dedicated keys like this, what's the point in having a dedicated hardware platform any more? Dave.

That's why they cancelled it.

LOL! I suppose the one advantage of doing your own hardware platform is that you own it and can control it. If you have to rely on say a particular Palm or Pocket PC platform then you are somewhat at the mercy of the rather fickle consumer market, with product lifetimes measured in months, not years.
