Hmm.. from that picture, it looks like there is some guard over the screen, preventing direct contact.  Hopefully, that would help to reduce the likelihood of screen damage.  Still, I do think they should at least give a free cover with the thing. :(

(Also, the color screen looks great! :D)
Yeah it seems like the Prizm. The Prizm has some sort of guard too. Actually, old TI calcs were like that too (TI-81, 82, some of the regular 83s, 85 and I think the TI-92 had an extra protection or something)
That's a good idea, I think. I've seen a few TI-Nspires with messed-up screens.
I remember those. Too bad the original nspires didn't have them, mine has an annoying scratch right in the center of the screen.

I never had a problem with it, myself, but I've seen some pretty bad pressure damage, where the screen is dark from someone pushing on it.

BASIC-wise, yes. Whenever we get Ndless working on 3.0, assembly probably won't. Different hardware and everything (the color screen)
I'm pretty sure Ndless could fairly easily have a backwards-compatibility mode for old Ndless programs, by setting a 4-bit palette with equivalent levels of grayscale. That wouldn't work for programs that change the palette, but it should work for most cases. (All of this assumes that TI is using the same display driver, which is pretty likely)

Anyway it is always a good idea to attach the source code to any TI-Nspire program released in case it isn't maintained anymore by its original author when major OS/HW upgrades happen.

Well said, same if someone quits a project. In the early 2000s I saw many calc projects die due to the author leaving without releasing what he had. :/

I think I'm getting a CX, but anyway, it's supposed to cost 149.99 I think...

Yeah I think that's the same price as a regular one. You get a better hardware, but the tradeoff is the lack of a slidecase.

Is a link cable included? O.O
