HP48GII available on HP's website now Message #1 Posted by Gene on 28 Oct 2003, 7:30 a.m. http://www.hp.com/calculators/graphing/48gII/ It looks like the same situation as the 49G+...says "Locate a reseller" right now, but the 49G+ did that and after a couple of days was taking orders on the site. Price $109.99

Not upgradeable, no Flash, no SD card support ... Message #2 Posted by Raymond Del Tondo on 28 Oct 2003, 12:12 p.m., in response to message #1 by Gene ...too expensive for the missing features.

Re: Hp39G+ 2X faster and 2X RAM and Cheaper Message #3 Posted by Ron Ross on 28 Oct 2003, 1:14 p.m., in response to message #2 by Raymond Del Tondo What are Hp marketers thinking? Or perhaps not, as usual.

Re: HP48GII available on HP's website now Message #4 Posted by Ronelle on 28 Oct 2003, 8:28 p.m., in response to message #1 by Gene Hi, I had to get this calc because it was a class requiredment. I was wondering if anyone knew whether or not downloadable programs for the other hp 48g (series) are compatible with this one? There's not much online yet specifically for this calc. My whole class seems to be having a problem as far as making it connect to our pc's too. Cant get any info at the HP site. Thanks Ronelle

Re: HP48GII available on HP's website now Message #5 Posted by Joesph on 28 Oct 2003, 8:33 p.m., in response to message #4 by Ronelle What class requries you to buy a certain calc at all, esp. a new, unproven one? I think whoever made this a requirement is a bit foolish. For the record, most HP49 programs should work. Go to http://www.hpcalc.org/ . Everything except games should be OK. There are various tutorials on the net - most are for the HP49g. I saw one a while back for the HP49G+, but they are mostly identical anyway.

Re: HP48GII available on HP's website now Message #7 Posted by Ronelle on 29 Oct 2003, 4:29 p.m., in response to message #6 by James M. Prange It's actually our book store and HP that came to the idea that this is the calc required, since the calc originally required has been discontinued. The Civil Engineering Program at my college requires the calc, however the lady who usually runs the program is actually out in the field all year, so we have a replacement. So I really don't know why. I asked the same question when I saw how expensive it was...Thanks for the links Joseph and James. Ronelle
