Now if they would only come out with a 15th anniversary edition of the HP200LX! This would retain the same form factor, but run Windows Vista (or XP)! Tell me THAT wouldn't stink! :)
No thanks. I used a HP48s and later a HP200lx in college and they were fantastic handheld computers. The 200lx's task-switching DOS had minimal resource requirements, making it far more suitable for a mobile device than XP or Vista. Even Windows Mobile is sluggish and temperamental compared to my 200lx.
If they were to release an updated version of the 200lx, Linux would be the way to go.
I used to have the 200LX and loved it. Unfortunately for me I had no real business use I I probably wouldn't have any real business use now either as most of my mobile computing is handled in my HTC TyTn, including calculator functions. Nostalgic over a calculator. How long before they go the way of the typewriter? At least in the US.
