Your average $10 hang-tag scientific calculator doesn't, but the new $40
hp 20b calculator does. It's sold as a business/financial calculator,
but does have scientific functions. It's based on an ARM-7DTMI
processor running at 36 MHz with 134KB of memory. People on the MoHPC
forums are already discussing repurposing it, and have set up a Wiki for
developer information.
