HP Prime bug tracker?

Quote: Is there an official bug repository/tracker somewhere for the Prime?

Yes...

...and here you have you answer as to why it is not public. HP does not allow this sort of thing as it is considered "future information". Think if something were flagged as "fixed" but for some reason was never released. IANAL, but it seems to me that in lawyer's eyes you've just opened up the company for a potential lawsuit. I am not a marketing person either, but I suspect there are many of them that think "acknowledging bugs" is akin to publicly shouting "our product is flawed and broken so don't buy it". You and I know that public tracking of issues doesn't scare off the people that want to know about those kinds of things, but again, HP considers stuff that like confidential.

At its heart, HP is still a hardware company. That is slowly changing, but the idea that the "software" is the product really has not taken over quite yet.
