Field notes

The device uses a scientific keypad and monochrome screen, then links study material to a browser workspace where users can upload question photos and add course notes. The public example covers calculus, chemistry, and physics, with controls for hints first or full step-by-step help. PENCALO lists the First Edition at $239, separate from cloud AI costs, and says the current hardware batch has sold out.
