The only form of voting on product development that companies care about is the kind we do with our wallets. HP would still be making high-end calculators for engineering etc. if customers were still buying lots of them. That market shrank to too small a size for HP to be able to justify devoting significant resources to it.

People like to bring up the sales of the 15C LE, but:
1) the engineering required for that wasn't nearly what developing a truly new calculator would require
2) the quantity sold was actually rather low by consumer product standards

Despite HP's deals with Monrovia and Royal, any significant new calculators are much more likely to come from open source projects like C43, and hardware from SwissMicros
