Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see a new HP model, but the evidence before us tends to show that there won't be one.

Firstly, by all apearances, the Calculator "division" of HP is now Tim and Cyrille. Tim has been shipped out to Taiwan, so it looks to all intents and purposes that the team has now been disbanded.

While there used to be pretty regular updates for the HP Prime, the last HP calculator that actually had some HP know-how in it, the latest update was now almost a year ago.

Other recent models such as the 10s+ and the 300s+ don't even attempt to disguise the fact that they're rebadged OEM Casios. There's nothing whatsoever remotely HP about them apart from the logo.

Evidence suggests that HP Calculators are no more.

I have an HP10+ and an HP300s.

About Taiwan, I only know that Kinpo Electronics of Taiwan, (https://www.kinpo.com.tw/en-US/),
is making somethig for HP.
