Could I throw in a quarter-baked idea here?  Maybe this group needs to be 
split not by machine but by usage.  I.e., maybe split off a
comp.sys.handhelds.hacks group for people interested in internals, machine
code programming, etc.

I own a 48, and I'm certainly interested in 48 stuff, but not so interested
in the hacking side (not that I'm uninterested in hacks, but I'd rather not
melt down my own calculator :-) ).  At the same time, I'm interested in general
news about other handhelds.  A "2848" vs. "everything else" split wouldn't be
of any benefit to me.

Anyway, don't call it "comp.sys.handhelds.hp2848", or in a couple of years
when the HP68 or whatever turns up, nomenclature will become a problem.
