I wish there was a new generation of HP-48, just with a faster core and better screen. :(
I have a SwissMicro DM-42, which when setup properly is similar to a HP-48, just minus graphing capabilities. Still want a HP-48 refresh.

And then of course there are many HP calculator emulators and others for android
N.B.: Meta Kernel[1] provides many of the 50g UI improvements on the 48GX — 49g/50g OS is based on Meta Kernel — but installing Meta Kernel in RAM requires a memory expansion card that, at current used prices, costs nearly as much as a used 50g (plus a steady [semi-yearly IIRC] supply of CR2016 coin cells to sustain the RAM card when the calculator is powered off).
While I also prefer the aesthetics and keyboard layout of the 48 series, the 50g with its bundled software suite stands as one of the most hacker-friendly handheld computing devices of all time: while documentation and development tools for the 48 series were widely available, it wasn't until the 49g that self-hosted versions of these tools (System RPL (de)?compiler, Saturn (dis)?assembler, library creation and extraction tools) were bundled with the base OS.
