It's too bad there isn't a serious math program for the PocketPC (that I know of). Maybe a portable Mathematica? Well, perhaps that's asking too much, I don't know.
I'd guess that one of the big reasons people stick with the 83 is because that's all that a lot of the standardized tests will allow. But, I agree, there are much nicer calculators around now.

For PPC's you should check out Math Tablet with the the XCAS extension installed. Don't know if it's what you need but it might be worth a look.

Umm, and sorry to steal away from SpaceTime. I still really like it too. Getting ready to install 1.8 now...
