The May 1991 issue of PC Computing has a 3-4 page article about the
HP-95LX, with a distant photo of the machine.  It appears to not be
touchtypeable, but it looks pretty slick anyway.  It is nice and compact
and runs for 2-3 MONTHS on 2 AA batteries.  It appears that an AC
adapter is a $15 option.

The 95LX has Lotus 1-2-3, Lotus Metro, and the HP-19B in ROM, among
other things.  It looks like it REQUIRES a separate connectivity pack in
order to move other DOS programs over from a PC ($99).  The RAM cards
(128KB and 512KB) are like floppy disks, albeit rather expensive.

Availability looks like early May, according to EduCalc.  My order is
already placed, sight unseen.  I post more when I get it.
