I checked FRY's website and they have relisted the HP49GII after being discontinued for a while due to the HP recall. I just called them and asked whether the HP48GII they have listed are new. The person on the phone said that they have receive them a few days ago!! I did explain the recall problem and that HP'web site mentioned middle of Jan 2004 as the (re)launch date for the HP48GII.
Is HP relaunching the HP48GII and doing it in an informal initial way???
