Title: Graphing and CAS calculators history
Post by: persalteas on April 26, 2013, 02:47:07 pm
EDIT: Corrected english version here (http://ourl.ca/18791/346373) (2D)

Hello Omnimaga,

This week I was working on the TI-Planet wiki, and I made some research on the releases and end marketing dates of the graphing calculators, since the world's first graphing calc, the Casio fx-7000G in 1985.

Then, HP started to produce awesome graphing calcs, with the first CAS of the world, the HP-28C (but not-really graphing).

Then, you can now see on this picture I finally made to recap my work all the graphing calculators made by TI, Casio &HP, since 1985 to 2013.

I didn't talk about not public models that were never released, like the TI-Nspire CAS +, PLT project (Fido, Toto, etc...), HP-Xpander...

Please notice that the Casio dates were very hard to find and set, different sources say different things, I sometimes made some statistics  :P

I would be glad if you report me all the errors you can find, it does not normally remains, critor also noticed me some details:

So, this picture is free, use it as you want ! Make good use.

That's funny, I was poking around the Internet for some info on the history of calculators for a school project a couple weeks back. This would have come in handy :/

Those graphs look pretty complete (and pretty)!

What sucks is how almost every Casio calculator has different names in French, so without this graph it really was confusing X.x.

Yeah but production didn't stop, and they sell it more expensive than a CX CAS, so people aren't gonna buy it since the CX CAS is better (and you can turn a CX into CX CAS, that makes it even cheaper). Though on the used calcs market the 89/t is still popular and sells about €40-60 over here.

In France, production is stopped... retailers still have stock, but the production is stopped. I don't know about other countries, but I thought it is the same...

Same as well, I thought it was still continued until last year, seems like it was discontinued before I even got a TI-nspire.

Really nice graphs, I like the 3D perspective of the first version, though shadow could be less prominent.

Yes, but the 3D version was hard to modify :P

So, I applied my corrections in 2D only, sorry :P

So the click and touch pad Nspires aren't discontinued yet?

I think the 89t was discontinued in France, but not in North America. The 89t and V200 are still sold at various places over here, but the v200 was never available in Canada. Of course, even if they're still sold, no new OS came out since at least 2006.
