Re: HP 39gII spécification Message #3 Posted by Martin Pinckney on 25 Oct 2011, 10:20 a.m., in response to message #1 by Gilles Carpentier This is a very interesting offering, perhaps foreshadowing an updated 50g with the higher resolution display. However still not listed for sale on any HP website I can find. Sort of like the premature listings of the 15c LE.

Re: HP 39gII spécification Message #4 Posted by Gilles Carpentier on 25 Oct 2011, 11:26 a.m., in response to message #3 by Martin Pinckney looks like a 39gs but with a far better screen (256 x 128 gray scale) and 80 MB flash memory...

Re: HP 39gII spécification Message #5 Posted by Patrice on 25 Oct 2011, 3:58 p.m., in response to message #4 by Gilles Carpentier Quote: 80 MB flash memory I fear it is a wrong value, even the 50G is 2MB, or does it MP3 ?

Re: HP 39gII spécification Message #6 Posted by bluesun08 on 25 Oct 2011, 1:44 p.m., in response to message #3 by Martin Pinckney I hope the successor of the HP 50g have more advancements apart from the display resolution.

Re: HP 39gII spécification Message #7 Posted by Don Shepherd on 25 Oct 2011, 2:17 p.m., in response to message #1 by Gilles Carpentier Where is its programming language described in detail? I don't see much at that web site.

Re: HP 39gII spécification Message #8 Posted by Martin Pinckney on 25 Oct 2011, 2:36 p.m., in response to message #7 by Don Shepherd Curious that the picture of the 39gii on the web-page Gilles referenced seems to be the same photo posted here a couple months ago, which has Chinese characters on the soft menus. There is a link on the page to HP's USA web store, but no inkling at all that this calculator even exists. I wish someone who actually knows could explain this.

Re: HP 39gII spécification Message #9 Posted by M. Joury on 25 Oct 2011, 3:05 p.m., in response to message #7 by Don Shepherd The information still appears to be pretty sketchy. I would love to hear more. I quite like the 39gs and would love to see that calculator expanded with a more powerful language and even better aplet programming support. One of my complaints is the need for a one-to-one correspondence between the entries in the VIEWS menu and programs to support those menu entries. A much nicer solution would be passing a parameter to a program and then using an IF statement or a CASE statement to decide what to do next. It would leave the program "folder" much less cluttered. As far as I can tell there is no way to do this with the 39gs. Some other issues I have they appear to be addressing if we can believe what we are reading: Lack of proper variables names and function calls are two of the current shortcomings of the 39gs.
