Over the past few weeks, rumors have come out about the next Nspire OS and possibly new hardware to counter the new Casio PRIZM. Today, we have found out more about the next release: the TI-Nspire CX Graphing Calculator! :)
TI-Bank (http://ti.bank.free.fr/index.php?mod=news&ac=commentaires&id=962) reports the new Nspire CX Series. According to a US website "Sameeroo", the next Nspire will have:
"The TI-Nspire handheld CX features a full-color, backlit screen, thin and sleek design includes TI-Nspire rechargeable battery. Use your own images Including photos. Explore real-world concepts Using The handheld's Notes, Graphs, Geometry, Data & Statistics and apps questions. TI-Nspire Teacher Sofware gold student TI-Nspire software IS required to add images Into TI-Nspire documents. Graph and rotate 3D functions. Change the color of wire gold surface your 3D graph. Clam shell."
This is truly ground breaking for the Nspire. First off, it seems like we are finally getting 3D graphs, but who cares about the math stuff??? FULL COLOR Gameboy games, FULL COLOR NES Games, FULL COLOR Videos. The possibilities are truly NDLESS! :)
It also seems as if a new TI-Nspire navigator will bring WIFI to the Nspire: More Information! (http://www.ubergizmo.com/2011/01/texas-instruments-brings-wifi-to-ti-nspire-calculators/)

Well, this sounds like it might solve a few of the problems we have with the Nspire. Decent screen (plus backlight), "sleek design" (I'll believe it when I see it), 3D graphing. Wait, and it's clamshell? Do want (pics :P)
-
Maybe they just mean it is packaged in a clamshell?
Also, I didn't want to do this in the actual article, but:
O.O O.O O.O O.O O.O O.O :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t:

Ok, the one thing I must say. My friend and I got into an argument (no joke) that his classroom's nspires could connect tot he internet with a wireless pack. I did not beleive him. I now do and I also think that my school has a prototype. I must check.
I swear he was insisting that he could go on sites and stuff O_O
-
I'm a bit skeptical, but that just might be because I've just bought a new Nspire a few days ago, and am in denial. :o
-
Is this real???? Is it fake news????
This looks crazy!

Look what I found:

Clamshell? Thin sleek design? WiFi? It sounds like they totally ripped off this: http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?PHPSESSID=5b6bf375350b7e6c85243e20f6cebcba&topic=6318.msg119800#msg119800 (http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?PHPSESSID=5b6bf375350b7e6c85243e20f6cebcba&topic=6318.msg119800#msg119800). I should go sue them. ;)
Seeing that it's only $150, it seems it'll just be a Prizm clone then. We will see just how good this new Nspire really is...
I'm surprised though that the Datamath Museum doesn't have something to say about this, as they usually get a hold on a prototype before TI announces something.
-
Do you think there will be any improvements in the programing problems?
-
wow, should have waited on buying my nspire...
-
Poor guy...
I feel so sorry for all the people who bought an Nspire recently :(
-
nbd, thats life.
-
Heh, and I was just bidding on a new Nspire on ebay.
-
Holy **** !
TI could listen his community ? :love:
-
Full backlit color Screen?
/me faints.
-
The big question: Will it be allowed in school testing?
EDIT: Actually, the big question is: "How much does it cost?"
-
Why shouldn't it?
The WiFi module is removable.
Just check:
http://ti.bank.free.fr/index.php?mod=news&ac=commentaires&id=961
-
Wow, full color and a backlit screen. This could be one cool calc. ;D
-
Wow, full color and a backlit screen. This could be one cool calc. ;D
Only if we get Ndless 2.0, Ndless 3.0, and Ndless CX.
Let's hope we won't have to wait 4 years before Ndless CX is released this time...

I like that for exam acceptance. Is it Assembly and C open?

Unbelievable! They must have known about the Prizm development for quite a while...
-
When is the real release on TI's website?

When is the real release on TI's website?
This is not announced on TI's website yet, but it will next week in all probability, most likely on the 25th.
-
The existence of the TI-Nspire CX has not been officially announced yet.
-
Wow this is crazy when its going to be officially announced O.O Hopefully it offers everything we want and more!
-
color screens??
-
Any chance of having built in asm?

I... I can has Nspire? I can has hex charts?
Wow, that is ridiculously cool.../me searches for a certain JBB...
-
Any chance of having built in asm?
probably
probably not
We have to wait for ExtendeD and his Ndless 3.0 / Ndless CX.
-
In b4 wireless adapter will cost more than calc.. But srysly... TI is know for charging ridiculous markup on accessories. If this information on the new Nspire is accurate, I'm glad I didn't buy one of the original Nspires. I also hope it's fairly easy for us to get ASM/C running on it and that it will have a decent LCD/LCD driver this time...
-
Oh god this seems to be so cool. Pretty awesome for a response to the Prizm.
Also, 3D graphs? Wow. I hope they would let you do 3D games in BASIC.

If the current exploit works - great !!! Ndless can be ported.
Otherwise you have to go through the time consuming, trial and error procedure of finding another exploit.
-
I wonder what casio thinks?
-
They are thinking, one of two things:
1) Yesss they are copying our ideas! :D
2) Shit they are copying out ideas.. >.<
-
Haha, yea, you're probably right! ;D
-
It is exclusive, it is brand new, everything is beautiful, it's just TI.
http://levak.free.fr/ftp/nspire/Nspire-CX-CAS.jpg
-
So, just an nspire with a color screen than, only difference I see. Means the same processor most likely, and any benefits other than color will transfer to older nspires :)
I hope that the asm we make is directly upgradeable, but I doubt running color stuff on old nspires would work. Might be wrong though :)
-
Huh, that would explain the rumors ;)
Holy **** !
TI could listen his community ? :love:
Don't get your hopes up (yet). No reports of it having any decent programmability (yet).
It is exclusive, it is brand new, everything is beautiful, it's just TI.

The thing is, there's probably a 90% chance that's what it probably is considering the prices some sites have it to be. Except in a clamshell design. I believe most of the specs are gonna be the same as a regular TI-nSpire. The color screen is just a gimmick to get you to fork more money.
-
Sounds like someone agrees with me :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):) :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Well, I was pretty happy with the specs of the Nspire except for the awful screen and design. Seems they're fixing the screen, and we can only wait and see what they do with the design.
-
TI probably just bought a color-compatible version of the OS from Nucleus, spent fifty cents replacing the screen, slapped a new label on it and jacked the price up a twenty dollars.
-
I'll gladly fork over hundreds for what'll likely just be a 16-color screen, instead of a 16-grayscale one.
-

True, unless somehow they managed to destroy all traces of programmability :P
-

Actually, Nucleus has nothing to do with anything that draws graphics on the TI-Nspire.
-
Wait, did I read that right? WiFi? :o
It has to be connected with a teacher's Navigator, though, right?
-
Poor guy...
I feel so sorry for all the people who bought an Nspire recently :(
No problem for me, I would still have bought a Nspire too anyway (not really since I have one, but I collect calcs :P)
Anyway this seems nice, although I wouldn't be surprised, judging by the prices, if the only new thing was a color screen and very little programming capabilities. Also I am certain OS 3.0 will allow anything this new calc allows minus the color screen and some small stuff.
I sure hope Ndless isn't blocked for a long while, though.
-
I knew it was inevitable that TI would come up with a response to the Prizm, but I didn't think it would be this short. My concern though is that some of the new Casio programmers might switch over to the Nspire CX because now it might be fully open to C development faster than the Prizm. What I was hoping for was that a couple of good games could be released for the Prizm before the CX came out in order to protect a struggling Casio community.
-
z80man, I hate to say it, but any games that are likely to be finished before the new calculator is released aren't likely to be advanced enough for that. The best hope is to make the Prizm more programmable than the Nspire, most likely through a powerful on-calc language.

introducing BATTLE-AXE (for Prizm), the greatest programming language ever with an easy to learn syntax. example code below.
epic first person shooter; //produces an epic first person shooter when compiled
-
O.O
/me downloads
In any case, there should be a rudimentary assembler ready sometime soon.
-
It will also depend of the screen quality. If it blurs like crazy or the colors are crappy, I doubt fast-paced games will be doable. Also the calc will be more expensive than the Prizm anyway.
-
My free time is getting all messed up with these new calcs. First the Prizm came out and I started taking on Prizm projects, now focusing on an emulator. Then I heard about project paradise and because uberspire only lives two miles away from me I kinda have to be a developer. Now I want to code for the CX, but I still have all my old 83+ projects still too.
-
I still think the CX will be the same as the regular Nspire. Just some hardware might be different. But I'm sure games could be ported between both calcs aside from the color. If I was you I wouldn't discourage yourself with the new calc, it would suck if you quitted Prizm dev just because of the new calc.

I agree. There are already many nspire developers at the time, but even though Casio developers have received a recent upsurge we are still a small community especially in SH3 programmers. The best thing for me to do now is to continue to contribute to Prizmsuite so that the Prizm is easier to code for.

Well lets see what TI did there...
and where the "problem" is whit OS3.0...

According to Google, the TI-Nspire CAS CX has been mentionned on education.ti.com.
classroom set of TI-Nspire CX or TI-Nspire CX CAS handhelds (valued at approximately $5400.00) to see if you win! Make a point of attending these exciting ...
http://education.ti.com/sites/US/downloads/pdf/t32011_sunday_session.pdf (information removed)
Yesterday, we could also find through Google with "TI-Nspire CX" many links to online shops, but most of the links were broken (removed pages/entries).
Most of those broken links seem to have been removed from the Google database today.
Seems TI has been trying to hide the "TI-Nspire CX" from us... I'm sure they do hate me now :P
I've even posted the info on their french FaceBook page :P :P
-

Classroom sets are only available as 15-pack or 30-pack.
It was probably the 30-pack.
-
Ah, I thought it was always sold in 10s for some reason :P
That makes more sense, then. I was afraid the CX would be ridiculously expensive for some reason.

The TI-Nspire CX Navigator modules still seem to be ridiculously expensive for some reason, although they don't include a rechargeable battery any more.

Yea, no kidding.

True, but it is quite possible that the calculator will be different/locked down enough that some time will have to be devoted to get Ndless (a current or new version) running on this new Nspire.

I wouldn't jump the gun though, we have to assume it's going to be locked down, and we don't know how long it'll take to get an exploit running.

TiBank (http://ti.bank.free.fr/) just released what could be the first two pictures of the Texas's new picture:
(http://ti.bank.free.fr/images/cas_cx_cover.png)
(http://ti.bank.free.fr/images/cas_cx.png)
However, according to the first piece of information we got:
The TI-Nspire handheld CX features a full-color, backlit screen, thin and sleek design includes TI-Nspire rechargeable battery. Use your own images Including photos. Explore real-world concepts Using The handheld's Notes, Graphs, Geometry, Data & Statistics and apps questions. TI-Nspire Teacher Sofware gold student TI-Nspire software IS required to add images Into TI-Nspire documents. Graph and rotate 3D functions. Change the color of wire gold surface your 3D graph. Clam shell.
This text says it would be ClamShell, which doesn't seem to be in the pictures.
So, which source is wrong? We're not sure yet, but I personally can't wait ;D
-
+1 Art_of_camelot.
Until the thing is proved open (either by design, which is very unlikely, or by force), I think that we, in the community, should urge against buying it.

I'm verry impatient. I want this calculator.

Judging by the pictures, I'd guess it's just a regular Nspire including a colour screen and wi-fi - as such I'd expect it to have nearly the same OS. :)

WANT. Also I really like the look of it, much more than the original Nspire or the Prizm.

Seems as if the keyboard isn't replaceable anymore.

That is what I was discussing on IRC earlier. I don't see any spot where it would be "possible" to remove the keypad. :(

Does this mean no more 84+ emulator anymore. Not that TI would make a good emulator for a color screen anyways.

-

If there are no removable keypads, then yes this would be true. :(
But we cannot yet completely confirm that the keypads will not be removable.
-
Then again, if it has proper programming, we won't need TI-84+ emulation. ;)
-
Well, might it be a good thing that there isn't any removable keyboard? I heard that the contacts on the keyboard wore out really fast and broke D: That being said, this calc is looking so shiny :] I can't wait to see what kind of specs it will have!
-
I hope this thing will be somewhat programmable. :-\
-
wut? new nspire? Dammit, it's now colored :'(
Making my nspire even more dummer...
-
Small model comparison. ;D
At least they got rid of the weird knobby things at both sides :D
-
screen looks smaller on the CX
-
Maybe the whole thing's slightly bigger? I hope not.
-
Indeed, to proportion, the CX's screen looks somewhat smaller... good catch.
-
No offense, but that kind of looks like a step backwards in calc design. It reminds me of the TI-83...
/me kidnaps Casio's Prizm case designer and drops them off on TI's doorstep.

but that's what makes me love TI's design! and I personally think it's more like a sexy 84+ case :P
-
It reminds me of the 82s, and I like it. ;D
-
Nothing in the screenshots seem to indicate any application support. :banghead: Hopefully there is going to be more to OS 3.0 than 3D graphing, a new home screen, and vernier probe support. Still will be interesting to see some real hardware shots (not renders) during T^3 conference on the 25th-27th.
-
lol srsly what are you expecting from TI regarding applications and programming? :D
-
well we never know.. :P we just know that the programming capabilities were "back-seated" according to TI in effort for the new capabilities that they gave us.
-
Well, except for those who will be involved in said cracking. ;) But that should go without saying.
Or people who just want to buy it for collection purposes. :P
(http://ti.bank.free.fr/images/cas_cx.png)
OH MY GOD, IS IT REAL?
To be honest, I prefer the look of the TI-83/84/86/89/T/v200 and the Casio FX-9860G/PRIZM. I like the non-CAS one, though, but I'm not too fond of how square-ish it is. Square-ish stuff looks too much like a calc from the '80s or early '90s IMHO. I wish the design was a bit more modern and round. However, it looks MUCH better than the Clickpad TI-Nspires.Does this mean no more 84+ emulator anymore. Not that TI would make a good emulator for a color screen anyways.
If there are no removable keypads, then yes this would be true. :(
But we cannot yet completely confirm that the keypads will not be removable.
To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if TI removed it. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if OS 3.0 for the regular Nspires removed it too. TI stopped distributing the 84+ keypads with new Nspires and last Summer they discontinued the 84+SE in some countries. Maybe they're trying to force people to buy both calcs or want to make sure there are no games possible on the TI-Nspire. However, the design was really flawed anyway: Qazz's calc broke because of constantly swapping keypads.
-
I think that the removable keypad is still here, isn't it ?
-
Idk, I notice some sort of line surrounding most of it, but I don't know. I also wonder how large the calc will be... the Nspire is so huge it won't fit in my pockets...
-

This has allready been announced on TI web site, and reported by TI-Bank.

/me sets his trained attack lobster upon Levak and flees in the ensuing chaos.
Well, those things were what allowed the screen to be so big.
-
Are there any estimates on what the resolution will be or is it the same as the original nspire. Also is this 16 bit or 24 bit color
-
The design looks like a remote control
-
Yeah actually that's what it reminded me at first. If my mom ever saw this, she would be like: "Wow, that's one HUGE remote control!"
-
What is the difference between CAS and regular? For the old one, CAS had a lot more features but was not backwards compatible with TI 84 programs, is this gonna be the same?
-
I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same, unless the Nspire regular gets rid of 84+ emulation now.
Also I seriously hope the screen will not be like the other. Otherwise I guess games will look like this O.O
-
CAS includes a computer algebra system. A CAS is a software (or whatever you choose to call it) that solves inputted equations not like normal calcs (a normal calc would return 5 * X * X as 20, assuming X = 20) but in a algebraic format (first would return 5X^2, then the true value)
-
haha that's a lotta motion blur right there :P
Also a SNES emulator would be wonderful! :D
-
Yeah, they don't usually make color Passive LCDs (ones with blur are passive) It would be hard to find color screens that weren't active, or TFT, nowadays. Besides, if it has a backlight too, then I would say it is definitely active.

If so, <3

That's good, then. If they're more rare they would probably not be much cheaper I guess, too. I just remember the LCD of my MP3 player was passive despite having colors and it was kinda weird. X.x
-
I've got a really old laptop, from like 1995 or so. There are mouse pointer trails even when you disable them. Is that a passive screen?
-
Likely. Old color screens are passive (DSTN) just like their contemporary monochrome screen cousins. TFT is a more recent technology which enables a much smoother scrolling.
-
Some of the first LCD monitors that were still 4:3, before CRTs were phased out, seemed to have some blur. I sometimes use my bro's computer and I notice a tiny trail behind the mouse cursor or in games. My old computer LCD monitor also does as well, but not as much. It might depend of the LCD quality too.

Seems as if the keyboard isn't replaceable anymore.
That is what I was discussing on IRC earlier. I don't see any spot where it would be "possible" to remove the keypad. :(
Ah, that's what you meant when you said maybe they were trying to phase out the 84 series. I kinda missed what you were trying to say, as IRC discussion exploded when the news/pics broke. =( They technically could still write an emulator, but it would be kinda awkward with the different keyboard layout. It's not like the community couldn't make one anyway once it becomes open to development though. Honestly i think they are just trying to seperate the product lines and let the Nspire be the Nspire and the 83+ series(IE Ti-83+ and compatibles) be the 83+ series. This also could mean a price drop for the 83+ series... would be nice anyways.
Are there any estimates on what the resolution will be or is it the same as the original nspire. Also is this 16 bit or 24 bit color
I haven't seen any info as of yet, however; I'd hazard a guess that that resolution will be the same as the current Nspire. No idea about the color, likely whatever is cheapest to mass produce.
*Editied* Speeling ;D

I'm really late here, but this is awesome! 8)
-
Idk, I notice some sort of line surrounding most of it, but I don't know. I also wonder how large the calc will be... the Nspire is so huge it won't fit in my pockets...
That is a problem I suffer from also :(
Maybe I should buy custom holsters for my calcs.

Hehe, that would make you the most awesome epic nerd ever! ;D I'd rock one of those bad boys myself! :D :D :D
<Cowboy voice> You wana coding duel eh? Fine! Draw! </Cowboy voice> :P

Loooool!
-
Lol nice one. Also I bet if they remove 84+ emulation that will be to justify the price not being much higher than the other Nspires despite the hardware change. :P
-
W00t, they removed the integrated motion blur :w00t:
-
Not necessarily. We are not sure about that, but it's likely that they did.
I can't imagine how it would be to play F-Zero or Touhou on a TI-Nspire LCD O.O
-
Well, if the Nspire CX's screen is DSTN, it will be roughly as bad as the screen earlier Nspire models...
-
wait, this is a calculator huh?
if it had a Super AMOLED screen, it would be too easy, and less fun to program :)
-
:w00t:
I cannot wait to see what insane carzy things people come up with now. My prediction? Starcraft. Not kidding at all.
-
You will get that on the Dioxygen
-
I don't have a CAS calculator right now and I don't like the ClassPad's touch screen either.
So, maybe I'll try the Nspire CX! ;D(http://www.omnimaga.org/Themes/default/images/gpbp_arrow_up.gif)
-

Yeah I kinda agree that when it's too powerful it's not as fun to program because most of the fun is when you manage to accomplish the impossible. Examples are those 3D polygon engines on the 83+/84+, Ndless hacks or internet on the calculator. Now we need to push the TI-Nspire even further. :P
-
Again, :w00t: I just can't wait for this...
-
I'm thinking this could have an android port :P

Three OS 3.0 screenshots:

Nice, do you think they could be used on Omni front page too?
Also I hope navigation will not be too slow in that new OS on newer calcs. X.x
-

No problem about that :)
-
Ok cool :D
/me is making sure to keep some of his free money for one of those calcs when they come out, assuming they don't cost $200-300 on release.
-
I'm gonna bump this (assuming there isn't a topic that was made recently about the CX), since I just bought a CX myself, and it's pretty nice.
-
janri, please stop.

Woah 40 posts in 5 minutes, that's almost as many as Ephan can do in that amount of time! O.O
Also lol -160 rating
(Btw my post and Spyro's are in response to spam by janri after Sroge4 post (welcome Sroge btw!), which included 40 posts made in 5 minutes.

Thanks DJ :) Right now I'm just waiting on ndless 3.0, so I can get a gbc emulator (I think you guys should try a gba emulator, that'd be awesome)
-
I don't think the hardware will be fast enough for GBA emulation without serious optimization. Also just wondering, does the GBA run code directly from the cartridge ROM or does it load it into RAM? A GBC emulator will be fully functional with color though :D

The GBA runs code from the cartridge, unless it gets manually copied to RAM (which many games will do for speed-critical code because the RAM is faster). Of course, most emulators would load it into RAM and treat it as ROM.
-
Sounds good :) I'm just really impatient for Ndess 3 to come out. Ndlessly hasn't been updated since the beginning of August :P
-
@scorge4
there is a reason for that scorge. if the makers of ndless 3 give information TI can use the information to block the way before ndless 3 is released. so the makers will prob only release the final version so TI can't do anything about it anymore

Well, yeah but the main reason is that only Extended is the one working on Ndless 3 and he's very busy, so he only does it sometimes when he has time to do it ;)

Not releasing exploits until they're full-featured and stable is very important. That's what made Nleash such a resounding success: only 2 weeks to break the silly protection added by OS 2.1, in the middle of last year's summer (i.e. a period of low activity in the community).
-
Well I hope he can get it out soon, I need SOMETHING to do in study hall besides studying ::)
-
you should check out the lua games those work on v3.0xxx (some work on 3.01 others on 3.02) those are also fun like nyancat or bobby carrot
-
I got a 3D maze game, which is kinda fun. I'd still prefer pokemon Gold though
