To support the Exam Mode integrity, HP activated some features (available in the chipset) that prevent replacement of the firmware, which can be defeated via h/w mods.

Ah, thanks - an angle I hadn't considered.

I wouldn't buy a product with no physical buttons. I might as well run an emulator on my phone.

I prefer physical buttons, there is something about the feel of pressing buttons.

Put me in the want/need physical buttons category too...phone causes pain the prime I can use pain free (I've been writing programs directly on it).

I wish Prime could emulate the huge 48/49/50 programs.

Great idea. I would also like to see a DM48 on the market. I'm saving up to buy a DM42. I liked the specifications and already used one at the beginning of my technical course in electronics.
