HP Xpander

The HP Xpander (F1903A) aka "Endeavour" was to be Hewlett-Packard's newest graphing calculator in 2002[1], but the project was cancelled in November 2001 months before it was scheduled to go into production.[2] It had both a keyboard and a pen-based interface, measured 162.6 mm by 88.9 mm by 22.9 mm, with a large grayscale screen, and ran on two rechargeable AA batteries. It had a semi-translucent green cover on a gray case and an expansion slot.

The underlying operating system was Windows CE 3.0. It had 8 MB RAM, 16 MB ROM, a geometry application, a 240×320 display, a Hitachi SH3 processor, and e-lessons. One of the obvious omissions in the Xpander was the lack of a computer algebra system (CAS).

Math Xpander

After discontinuing the Xpander, HP decided to release the Xpander software, named the Math Xpander, as a free-of-charge application that ran on Windows CE-based Pocket PC devices. It was hosted by Saltire Software, who had been involved in its design.[3][4]

gollark: Hmm. Google is insisting that there is text which is too small to read on my site. I dislike this.
gollark: Apparently CSS will let you define custom list counter styles because of course.
gollark: Basically, you create a dict or something for each new scope, and check each scope in turn from most specific to least specific when looking up a variable.
gollark: Ah yes, the iPhone 36.
