This evening, I was "playing" with the 17Bii+ app on my iPhone, made by a company called RLM Tools. Despite the fact that I already have a HP 17Bii (which is quickly becoming my favourite calculator), would it be possible to see if SwissMicros and RLM could team to get the RLM 17Bii+ logic on the DM42 hardware? Maybe even calling it a DM17 FYI; the RLM app is a kind of merge between the 17Bii and 19Bii, with some additional functions.
That would be a killer calculator, especially if the limitations of the current HP 17Bii+ could be avoided. And in fact, the 17Bii+ app by RLM already makes use of a four line display, and the keyboard stays very close to the Pioneer layout ... at match made in heaven with SwissMicros, I would say!
I'd be interested to hear your opinion of course ... thanks!

Re: Possibility for a financial calculator? (apart from the DM12)
Yes, I am interested to have a financial calculator.

I hope they won't waste energies on lesser projects. It's a two men business, after all.

It's only a waste of time if you're not personally interested in it. That said, the 17-series would be a challenge, since it's from an era when HP was copyrighting their ROMs, and 3rd party solutions are closed source.

Re: Possibility for a financial calculator? (apart from the DM12)
Of course I'm not interested in it, otherwise my reply would be different.
Furthermore there's plenty of 17B/Bii available for pennies.
And exactly so: it is copyrighted and I wonder how RLM succeded in simulating it.

Ouch - hope it's just me reading this wrong... :-/
Anyway, in time, perhaps the DM42 might prove to be a platform for open source, financial calculator projects that interested souls might venture into?
I believe in free will. Just can't help it.

Well then, ouch. I am curious, what's lesser about it?

A business/financial is, well... boring.
Now, where is my DM 41X? Then you can have anything you want.
