Hp35s photos (from Japan) Message #1 Posted by y.miyata on 11 July 2007, 10:23 p.m. Hi, I found several very nice photos of the new HP35s in a Japanese web site. Photo-1 Photo-2 Photo-3 I'm thinking to obtain one, since my old HP42s is getting worn out a bit...

My God! Itīs full of (actual) keys... (NT) Message #2 Posted by Vieira, Luiz C. (Brazil) on 11 July 2007, 11:15 p.m., in response to message #1 by y.miyata

I still really don't understand "cm" vs. "KM", but I can live with a typo like that if the keys feel as good as they look. HP, thank you for listening!

Quote: I still really don't understand "cm" vs. "KM"... My guess is that they spelt "KM" and "MILE" in capitals to better distinguish "physically large" units from small ones like "in" and "cm". Ergonomics at work, so to say. Greetings, Max

Real Big Units Message #5 Posted by Walter B on 12 July 2007, 3:00 a.m., in response to message #4 by Maximilian Hohmann :-)) So, after mm and cm, we shall write KM and LIGHT YEARS? Well, if this is the only way to convince USA to use SI units, one shall think about it ;-) P.S.: I know the light year isn't SI, but it was the biggest unit at hand :-)

They're positively HP-41-esque. I rather see HP12C Platinum-like keys: Chinese manufacturing... Although my 12CP is certainly 10 times faster than my good'ol 12C, there's no chance I drop the 12C in favor of the other one. Reason: the keys. I'm afraid the 35s goes the same way.

Re: Hp35s photos (from Japan) Message #9 Posted by Walter B on 12 July 2007, 2:23 a.m., in response to message #1 by y.miyata 3 observations: In Japan, the 35s seems to cost just 10% more than the 33s The LCD of the 35s shown looks slightly misaligned Together with the 17bii+, there is a set of wonderful keys and housings opening further perspectives
