Seeing new desktop calculator models come out sort of reminds us of tweaks to a car model that's soon to be phased out (though 1.5 million are still sold in Japan each year), but we rather like the fact that Canon's new USB desktop calculator/ten-key add-on also has a USB 2.0 hub and cursor keys built in. The thought of all those USB cables snaking around is a bit unappealing, though. Also, there's fierce competition in the form of their own model with a built in trackball. What we really want is a Bluetooth calculator, though; that'd be something with real brag value.
