I would say maybe 1%, because there is most likely about 100000 graphing calc owners minimum at once in the world and I have serious doubts there are currently 1000 active calc programmers in the world. On Omnimaga forums, if you check around 11:59 PM on the board index, you'll notice that there are about 90 people logging in every day and we don't even have close to 1000 members anyway. This is why there are little chances that they would listen to the community.

Oh, I see now why TI doesn't like us at all

I don't think this calculator is very programmable.At least not for any big shot labor intensive programs or high quality games. Reasons:
1.Not enough memory(8MB)
2.Games won't be very fun on such a small screen. this applys for all calculators.
3.It is hard program certain computer languages on this calc. java does not run very good on it.

Well, it has more memory and a larger screen when compared to other calculators that have great games...

Do you think this is better than the ti- Nspire? I would say this is about he same quality as the ti-89.

do you think the ~300,000% increase in memory will be sufficient for the ~3,000,000% increase in number of colors?

(i don't know anything about anything about programming in color :x)

Both the memory and LCD specs already exceed many of the other graphing calculators out there now, and the existing calcs have some pretty fun games despite the hardware limitations (though this is a subjective thing that depends on one's opinion). I don't see this as necessarily being an indication that programmability won't very good. We'll just have to wait and see what the details are.

I don't think the screen size will be too much of a problem, either. If I understand correctly, it's even bigger than the original Nintendo Gameboy/Gameboy Color, and that didn't stop there from being lots of enjoyable (to me, at least) games for those platforms. Add in color, and the effective resolution is in some ways even higher since strategic use of color can create the illusion of there being more detail using fewer pixels. I feel, though, that graphics aren't everything when it comes to a fun game—the actual gameplay is what matters most.

61 KB RAM seems fairly low and may be a problem for highly advaced games, but that's assuming the unit really has that amount as an absolute maximum. It's possible that there may be additional “hidden” or system RAM that can be used, at least by ASM or apps (assuming they are supported).

Well aren't apps ran directly from archive?

In the specs, it says it gets about 140 hours on batteries, I believe.

Wow 140 hours, I wonder if that's at the full processing power, cuz if it's the case, it's really epic o.o.

140 hours of battery life is estimated based on 5 minutes of processor-heavy calculations and 55 minutes of "rest" per hour.  (This is the graphing calculator standard for estimated battery use.)  For reference, most current GCs offer 120-140 hours of life.  

Helpful in this regard is the battery usage meter in Prizm's status bar.

The Prizm will also accept an optional 85-hour rechargeable battery.
