Virtually everyone that would own one of these already has a smartphone with more computational power, where an app can be made, or already exists, that does all of these functions or more.
Is the only reason for this to exist for use on a standardized test?
Not only are standardized tests (and thus preparatory high school tests) stringent against cell phone use, but companies such as TI have had a monopoly on the market for a long time. It's great to see a competitor that uses a more modern underlying language, that costs as much or less than the TIs do. I really hope this calculator or something similar starts to catch on at secondary schools in the U.S.
