The HP Xpander was to be Hewlett-Packard's newest graphing calculator in 2001, but the project was cancelled months before it was scheduled to go into production. It had both a keyboard and a pen-based interface, measured 162.6 mm by 88.9 mm by 22.9 mm, with a large grayscale screen, and ran on two rechargeable AA batteries. It had a semi-translucent green cover on a gray case and an expansion slot.
The underlying operating system was Windows CE 3.0. It had 8 MB RAM, 16 MB ROM, a geometry application, a 240×320 display, a Hitachi SH3 processor, and e-lessons. One of the obvious omissions in the Xpander was the lack of a computer algebra system (CAS).
Math Xpander
After discontinuing the Xpander, HP decided to release the Xpander software, named the Math Xpander, as a free-of-charge application that ran on Windows CE-based Pocket PC devices. It was hosted by Saltire Software, who had been involved in its design.

Xpander is a 1999 EP by Sasha along with Charlie May, Andy Page (producer) and Gaëtan Schurrer. This single was featured on many compilations such as Global Underground: Ibiza, Pete Tong's Essential Selection, Hooj Choons' Nu Progressive Era, and many other DJ mix compilations. It is considered a seminal release within the Progressive Trance community. It was voted the 9th best Dance track of all time, by readers of Mixmag.
The track is in some ways a tribute to the Oberheim Xpander synthesizer, which is the main synthesizer used in the track.
This track was also featured on the PlayStation game Wipeout 3.
