Well, as you know, the HP 50g isn't running Saturn code directly either. It's running an emulator that is running the Saturn code. As far as i understand, the newRPL project is trying to achieve at least the same functionality as the 50g (with some extra things and a better interface) while running directly on the ARM processor. The obstacle is that they're doing it all from scratch. So what i meant by "would be huge for the newRPL project" is that they would at least have the source code to start from. I imagine it's much easier to create a Saturn code to ARM compiler than it is to rewrite the entire code by hand.

Of course, the whole thing is speculation on top of more speculation on my part.
