the initial feeling i got at first glance - and judging by the name "PicoCalc"- is that the designer was trying to capture the look-and-feel of the TI-NSpire calculators:
(from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TI-Nspire_series)
this is something i'd have loved to have back when (a) i was a teenager, and (b) we were all living some time back in the 1980's. but not quite so much these days. today, most teens would rather have a smartphone!
far more interesting to me personally is the DevTerm (https://www.clockworkpi.com/home-devterm). i would rather like to see a DevTerm with someone actually using it, so as to get some idea of the overall size. is the keyboard usable? how readable is the display when showing an 80-column screen? a DevTerm with a couple of RP2350 inside could be an interesting proposition!
cheers,
