Which is best? I have the TI-89 but I am curious about how it compares to the hp50g.

Does the hp have ebook reader apps or note making apps. can the screen resolution be adjusted to increase the size of the character font etc. Does the hp have good 3rd party app support. the TI apps are not as good/available as they should or could be.
