According to a post on the HP Prime blog, it appears that this is the end of the line for the HP 50g calculator. Should the post reveal to be true, then HP will cease production of the HP 50g this year, to focus on the HP Prime. So after 15 years, the reign of the HP 49/50g series seems to be over.

This could probably have explained why there have been quite a few hot deals on the HP 50g lately, sometimes being offered for as low as $50. In any case, there will most likely be much more. It's a shame that the calculator has not taken off more than it did among developers, though, although it was very popular among engineers. Hopefully HP adds more engineering tool to the HP Prime firmware in the near future as a compromise to this loss.
