Hello all,

On JH's HHC2007 site, there is a link in the news section to a Wired
article comparing the HP50g to others in its class. The accompanying
photo shows a HP50g floating on top of its rivals, which has a very
different looking keyboard than the HP50g I own or have seen.

I wonder if it is a photography/lighting/reflection effect, or did HP
actually changed the keyboard colors. Anyone know?

Here is the link:

Cheers,
Pal

I'll bet it's an artifact of the photograph.
Pretty nice looking effect though.

They probably had to adjust the brightness to make the composite photo 
look good for the web.

Blue lights, or a blue filter effect -- probably the art director just 
thought the photo should be more blue.  Gray keys appear blue-gray, 
orange shift key is muted, and the LCD looks purplish.

I'm wondering just why the HP 50g got a 7 out of 10 when the TI 89 got
an 8 out of 10. It just don't add up. (Pun/bad grammar intended).

I like this HP50G quote:

"Teachers probably won't be able to help you operate it."

This could be a good selling point, for students of some age :)
