VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE r10077 FOR HP PRIME UPDATE

[ndzied1]

In the market there has to be a balance between new features and fixing bugs.

The best thing hp could have done (AND DID) in my opinion was to get the prime approved on standardized tests. They / We need the sales generated by students to keep moving the train that is the calculator group down the tracks. They are the group that changes every year and will constantly need devices to help them take the tests.

Having something "new" is the best tool for marketing when going after this sector of the market for hp (again my opinion) since it is up against such an entrenched alternative (TI). TI invested decades ago by spending the time and effort to get into the textbooks as examples and you have to hand it to them, it has worked out very well. But they are stagnant because of this and that's where always being able to say you have something new is valuable.

Of course, fix the bugs, make things work better; but without the sales the whole thing is done anyway.
