43s status

Just for sake of grounding:

• The 43S is little more than vapourware (TM) so far. Or call it a Gedankenmodell (i.e. thought model). A pretty elaborate one (332 pages) but nevertheless just a "calculator novel" based on some facts hardly visible to us.
• "knowing the hardware had flaws": said HW will have flaws - it didn't have much opportunity to show flaws yet.
• Iteratively, every reasonable feature within the framework set by Eric below right now may go into the 43S. Everything beyond may go into something else, call it as it pleases you. With a 43S featuring a premium LCD, classic keyboard, low power consumption, a 34S+ function set, true pocketability, and (last not least) RPN, however - what else do you long for?
  

Ooh, and BTW: that word is spelled "über".
