Please see here about the screen (pictured here in different shades of grey Wink - I admit I was too lazy to write something in the top space). As mentioned earlier, the SwissMicros' screen offers twice the space up left the crippled dot matrix of the HP-30b features.

One might even think of another calculator design featuring up to four softkeys - just revert the screen layout as shown and put the numeric line on top. This would replace the (redundant) keytops under A, B, C, and D by four ^ symbols and eventually leave the WP/DM 34S paradigm towards something new - half way to the 43S. Just food for further thoughts.

d:-?

I did not notice the greyed areas in the LCD display of your landscape mockup layout; I suspect most folks did not. Maybe revise the image with some content in them to make the point clear? I guess these correspond with the 3 display "areas" of the WP-34S display? I also somehow missed that the DMxxL LCD screen had a larger addressable area than in the WP-34S; even more good news.

I also like your additional food for thought - many of us are hungry...

The DMxxL platform may well be the ideal way to further development of the WP-43S, while waiting for the ultimate hardware. I agree with several other comments in various places that since it will take much time to get that development going, even if target h/w was available, there is merit to get started sooner.

Hopefully Michael can give us some indication of his interest in allowing & supporting such an initiative.
