Gauging interest in a DM48 or DM50?

RE: Gauging interest in a DM48 or DM50?
I concur with a couple of Eric's comments above.

1. Calling them "DMxx" is a bad idea as that's the naming scheme used by SwissMicros and usurping it, even for alternate f/w that runs on their devices is a bad idea. This is not a legal comment, just sensible advice for a small, tight community.

2. Using e.g. DB48X for a somewhat similar work-alike is indeed going to end up being confusing as many 'users' will presume it's just like an HP-48 and be utterly confused, or assume it's defective, or worse. Get their attention immediately by using a different model number as Eric suggested, or some other naming scheme variation. The trailing X is good, but likely better alternatives can be found.

Al of which is not to suggest to make it more like a 48 (or a 50), we have that already, please continue the innovation and continue to create newer, and better device behavior.
