Why do you assume that the Prime will get more firmware updates? At one point HP just decided to stop producing updates for the HP 50g. I feel that at some point the HP hierarchy will decide that the Prime is similarly finished and that'll be that.

While earlier calculators did receive updates over their lifetime, none was released in such a buggy, crashy, sorry state and this (and expensive ink) is a very obvious symptom of a corporate disease that, as many have said, is eating HP away from the inside.
