Batteries are a huge issue, and multitasking is just dumb for a single purpose embedded device I hate to shoot you and SirCmpwn down but that's just the case. Even at 50Mhz the overhead is not worth it, period, and really as nice as the z80 and eZ80 series procs are I'd almost say we are being dumb for not using something without a FPU built in. An IEEE compliant FPU would make it shit easy to make a calculator that can do all the math we need it to.
