RE: The actuel Prime future...
What's the 'education market' according to you? Do you talk about students or students? The little or the big ones? (I love the ambiguities of that language.)

I concur that students at school (up to the age of let's say 13 IIRC) don't need a calculator at all - in fact it's even contraproductive since mathematical education suffers IMHO. As soon as 'scientific' functions like roots, logs, and trigs come in, suitable calculators should be allowed (you don't want to fall back to table books, do you?). And in science and engineering at university, well, banning calculators would be off real world - your studies shall prepare you for professional life after all. In any case, a good test is one you can't solve without a good understanding of the topic covered - a test you just solve since your calculator has more horsepower than the one of your fellow student is a bad one per definition.

Thus, there is a market for solid calculators (regardless of 'standardized tests' conducted in the USA or not). Whether these calculators will be models like we know them or apps on smartphones, I can't guess. On the education market, the outcome may depend on cheating ...

Just my 20m€.
