• Entry level calculator
• RPN operation
• Keystroke programmable
• Direct access to all functions without complicated menu structures
• Based on Saturn CPU emulation
• Past concept stage, so possibly at prototype or alpha level
• a new model is on the horizon ... and more ...
  

This is

• not a 71B
• not a RPL machine
• probably not running pre-1983 ROM's (Saturn CPU is different from previous generation CPU)
• probably not running the Pionner ROM's (direct access to all functions without complicated menu structures)
  

My current take is, this is running an SM from ground up calculator implementation. Why using Saturn CPU emulation if that is the case, this is anyone guess.

PS: the "and more ..." comment at the end seems to indicate that they will be several calculators made on this new hardware/software platform.

Sylvain,

I think you nailed it! I share your opinion.
