Aren't emulators against iPad appstore rules? If TI decided to release TI-Nspire Student Software for the ipad, they would have to do it via Cydia, meaning only jailbroken devices could run it.
Yes, they aren't allowed, but it's not at all what TI would make anyway.
If they are to release something, they probably would re-code the software anyway to support some kind of nspire format, "possibly", I don't know.
Also, it wouldn't be an emulator, but rather just another type of product that could be a CAS-powered Math applications, but looking more like the Nspire ?

There is a new potential competitor looming out there, and that's software apps for various smartphones.  Given that most phones have ARM processors running much faster than the Nspire, the non-education market may eventually be served by pieces of software, if that software has some sort of built in programming language.

Casio said that if we do something wrong again, they might lock the PRIZM like TI did with the Nspire. At least, though, Casio is giving us one last chance.
what has been done wrong before with casio calcs?
Fake reset programs and other kind of cheating tools that can compromise the allowing of the calc at most tests.

If it happens that casio also locks their calcs, fxdless? <_<

Spoiler for Still Alive:
This was a triumph.
I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

Aperture Science:
We do what we must because we can.
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake
And the science gets done and you make a neat gun
For the people who are still alive.

I'm not even angry.
I'm being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart and killed me.
And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you.

Now these points of data make a beautiful line
And we're out of beta we're releasing on time.
So I'm GLaD I got burned think of all the things we learned
For the people who are still alive.

Go ahead and leave me.
I think I prefer to stay inside.
Maybe you'll find someone else to help you.
Maybe Black Mesa -
THAT WAS A JOKE. HA HA, FAT CHANCE.
Anyway, this cake is great:
It's so delicious and moist.

Look at me still talking when there's science to do.
When I look out there it makes me GLaD I'm not you.
I've experiments to run there is research to be done
On the people who are still alive

And believe me I am still alive.
I'm doing science and I'm still alive.
I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive.
While you're dying I'll be still alive.
And when you're dead I will be still alive.

Still alive
Still alive

Smartphones will NOT be a competitor for calculators anytime in the near future. Calculators don't have wireless networking by default. Smartphones do. That's an entire class of potential cheating methods avoided just by banning phones, which is something testing organizations won't be overlooking.

True, unless someone like apple comes out with a student model which has a press to test mode.  Not likely at this time but maybe in the future.  It has been rumored that apple will be adding press to test to their iPad so I wouldn't rule out the possibility for the iPhone.  There just isn't any good reason to buy and carry around an extra single purpose calculating device so eventually that will be addressed I'm sure, but I don't think it is a high priority for phone makers at this time.

My comment about smartphones replacing calculators is not directed towards students.  Most people will be students for 8 years, sometimes more.  People will be in the working world for decades, and professionals will not be worried about "exam taking" from after college through retirement.

Yes, I see a HUGE future for computing devices TI can't control....

True, however your point is mot because TI focuses only on the education market and more specifically on the high school math market thus they would not see smart phone apps as competition unless they could be used in teaching high school math which so far isn't the case.
