There are good news however. The calculator will behave as an storage client when hooked to a USB-Host (PC/MAC/Android, IPad?, etc.) Thus you can conveniently load and store your programs and calculator state while the calculator is powered by USB.

In addition, flash is increased by 4MB, that gives a total of 9MB of which about 1.5MB are necessary for the system itself.

Thanks for ther update Günter!

I agree, the SD card would be in the "nice to have" category, but far from necessary; better to spend SM's effort refining the core design and the PC and on-board storage options are more than adequate.

Was the keyboard layout issue (M assigned to the ENTER key) ever resolved? I may have missed the news if so, and though it's not among the biggest problems to solve, key layout remains a topic of interest to all.

I'd like to sign-up for the BETA group when units become available, this one should be fun to test.

Merry Christmas!
