These are exciting times, I think technology is about to take another turn soon and we won't be making last-ditch efforts to keep our Primes alive aside from keeping them as collectables after they finally start to run down.

When the battery sold with your Prime dies. So effectively does your Prime. Once the battery dies your Prime is 'end of life' unless you can get hold of a DECENT Samsung s3 battery by then and even that won't go on too far into the future. Plus most of the 3rd party ones you'll get for that are rubbish and your Prime won't work anything like as well with them as it does with the original battery.
EFFECTIVELY. .. the Prime is a disposable calculator from the moment you buy it, as far as any official support from HP is concerned.

This does not excite me very much.
