Thankes,

HP-35 


The HP-35 was HP's first pocket calculator. It was introduced at a time when
most calculators (including expensive desktop models) had only the four
basic functions. The HP-35 was the first pocket calculator with
transcendental functions and the first with RPN
<http://www.hpmuseum.org/rpn.htm> . 

The early versions said only "Hewlett Packard" on the faceplate and inside
HP the product was simply called "The Calculator". Bill Hewlett suggested
naming it the HP-35 because it had 35 keys. Later as HP developed more
models, "35" was added to the faceplate. The HP-35 and probably the entire
HP pocket calculator product line was the sole result of a visionary CEO who
chose to ignore the market studies and produce what he felt that engineers
would want. His view of the market was that if the engineer at the next
bench liked it and thought it would make his job easier, then it was worth
doing. The HP-35 was developed in two years, at a cost of approximately one
million dollars with twenty engineers. At the time, three to five years was
a typical HP development cycle.

I don't think any information has been leaked about a US release date. 
All of the info we have came from the web page of a European 
distributor, which was withdrawn within a day or two -- apparently it 
was posted a bit early.  I have heard something, elsewhere, about a 
September release date, with I _guess_ might be for the European 
release, and maybe also the US release.

When it finally is released, I'm sure you'll hear about it -- especially 
if you frequent forums which have more traffic than this mail list, like 
the HP Museum forums, or the comp.sys.hp48 USENET newsgroup.  That's a 
good idea in any case.

My guess,

based on the HP 35 Anniversary contest hoopla, is an announcement  
later this summer in time for shipments before school starts in the  
fall, as that is one of HP's major markets. The comp.sys.hp48 has  
some photos from an early beta tester.
