Well it really does not matter if HP is still designing them as most of the programmers for the HP-graphing calculators have left HP. It actually seems rather unlikely that any new HP graphing calculators will be produced in the near future.
(The HP-50g has extremely few non-cosmetic differences from the HP 49g+. It is basically just a minor hardware revision combined with a new shell. It is fully backwards compatible even at the lowest levels (ARM assembly) with the HP49g+)
