Apparently, you're really excited about it if you're posting three times!

Not excited at all. Just corrected typing mistakes.

HP-20 B (June 2008)
http://www.dynatech-taschenrechner.d....php?prod=4992

Looks like a 10B merged with a 20S.

Dynatech also advertised the 50G in advance, IIRC,
but each is a Summer rerun, not a new show.

Hm..can I guess? It was necessary to develope a new one because there
is need for faster subtract of huge numbers for financial user? :-D

Looks like it picked up the ALG mode of entry from the 20S also
Maybe it inherited the good keys of the Pioneer series? hopefully?

The German description also says the keys don't have the usual resistance
when pressed, but they evaluate the keys as 'better than average' .

More can be said when we actually have a 20b unit to check:-)

Anyone can tell more details on this?

Maybe they developed the new one of lesser quality to be replaced more
often.

Lesser quality compared to the "old HP" but still better than the all-
time-low 49g+ in terms of build quality.
