HP should offer a free hardware upgrade

Quote:To me it's absolutely unforgivable that the Prime does not have SD card support.

I'd attribute that to the usual obnoxious interference from standardized testing regulation authorities. On the one hand, SD card support is frowned upon, but on the other hand, for instance, these authorities let TI Nspire's brittle pixie dust of an exam mode fly, and insist on tests remaining disconnected from real-world usage of calculators... Who said they're thoroughly incompetent ?
Having to design calculators for the education market (otherwise their sale volumes are much lower) makes calculators all of less featureful, more complicated and more expensive...

USB would be the only way to replace lack of SD card, but USB OTG / host does not work properly (or so I guess, for the features that require such modes to be disabled) in HW A Prime calculators... I'm sure HP would rather not have made that blunder.
