HP Prime bug tracker?

[norlesh]

Hi Tim, thanks for introducing me to a new acronym - had to look that one up

Seems to me from the marketing perspective it would look alot better to have a single place where the bugs could be logged and the developers seen to be doing something about it as apposed to having people posting the reports in random forums and then airing there frustrations that nothing seems to be getting done about them.

As for it being a case of 'hardware' or 'software' focus - To me the reason to buy a $200 calculator was for the integration of the software and hardware such as dedicated keys and the clarity of a purpose built interface for mathematics (yes I realize the pen and paper are meant for this - but to me nothing says math like a pocket calculator). For the same coin I could have got myself a dedicated tablet and set it up with a suite of math apps... Sure it wouldn't look as sexy as the Prime and it wouldn't have the dedicated keys [still with the onscreen keyboard I would atleast be able to freakin read them] but I'm pretty sure the software wouldn't be irking me as much as the Prime is at the moment.

[I purchased this realy cool looking watch at a market once, it had an alarm that flashed an RGB LED. At first I thought it was great untill I got it home and started to explore the modes only to discover that one of the buttons was incorrectly labeled on the screen print underneath the face {the term 'lost in translation' comes to mind}. Anyway I still figured out how to set all the functions and everything, and technicaly it still kept time, flashed rainbows on que and was completely functional - but that watch became dead to me the moment I realized it was so obviously flawed - now the watch only cost $15 so I got over it pretty much instant and now it just exists in a junk draw somewhere. I don't actually want to give up on the Prime, I'd like to eventually master it as a tool but without the bug fixes flowing it's really hard to love all those warts.]

Oh and IANAL either but if Apple was able to deal with bug fixes by effectively saying 'don't worry about it, itll go away' then I'm sure HP lawyers would be able to get them out of an honest mistake.
