On the other hand, the HP-12C is a pocket computer as well as the HP-28C/S, no keys dedicated to SIN COS or TAN.

The 28S has the "Trig" menu which has the dedicated top row function buttons and the 12C has dedicated financial function buttons. Both are similar to the 41C which has Trig functions "preprogrammed". So are the 12C/28S now defined as pocket calculators?

IMO the answer is no. The difference is in the application of device. They can be both.
