qazz, any luck with your teacher at all?

Great, this might be all good news, but TI has to do this. because the prizm came out they know they have to get down to business or Casio will take over and get all the spotlight. but worst of all.
1. Just dump the current TI-nspires. Stop supporting them, or just say modestly, it's an OK OS, don't need to improve much, our [TI's] focus is on this new calc in development. Great. (if you didn't get that i was saying it from TI's perspective)
2. and the price? can TI really charge $200 for it?

Well i think qazz42's teacher was just expecting more from the ti-nspire, not nearly as easy to use as the 84, my maths teacher says, that i have to tutor the whole class into how to calculate sigma.

But that's all my opinion

Yeah but I doubt they would make a new calc so soon. I am more thinking about improvements on the OS, but I am not confident they'll add that many programming capabilities, especially if hobbyists are a minority of their buyers. I think maybe they could be forced to drop their prices a little bit if the Prizm ever gets popular, though.

I think maybe they could be forced to drop their prices a little bit if the Prizm ever gets popular, though.
Strategy:
1. Hack the Prizm fully
2. Use that knowledge to develop dozens of great Prizm games
3. Showcase Prizm games to friends
4. Friends buy Prizms
5. TI realizes that they are losing customers and therefore makes a better OS
6. Casio and TI compete for the best calc in which the winner is neither TI or Casio, but us calc enthusiasts
7. Project Paradise calc destroys all of the competition 
8. calc programmers take over the world  :evillaugh:

I think I started to get a little overly ambitious at some point  :P

List of stuff I need to do before September:
1. Finish the Emulator of the Casio Prizm (in active development)
2. Finish the the SH3 asm IDE/assembler/linker program (in active development)
3. Create a partial Java virtual machine  for the Prizm (not started)
4. Create Axe for the Prizm with an Axe legacy mode (in planning phase)
5. Develop a large set of C and asm libraries for the Prizm (some progress)
6. Create an emulator of the 83+ for the Prizm (not started)
7. Create a well polished game that showcases the ability of the Casio Prizm (not started)

Considering how faulty TI's logic seems to be, I wouldn't put it past them to do that....

it took them since like what.. 2004 to develop the Nspire though?

well, 5 years since Nspire, the Nspire was made 3 years after the Ti89t and the 84+(& SE)

so it might be a new calc and Nspire will just go down in history as a failure

Something I wonder is if the thing they'll announce at T3 won't just be that cellphone/smartphone/mobile I saw on TI-BANK: http://tibank.forumactif.com/t6648-off-topic-ti-mobile

It wouldn't be school-related, but we never know with TI. If they're just planning to announce that, then those who thought about a new calc with more functions will probably be disappointed. X.x

I don't think anyone will be complaining if they come out with something with a processor like the Nspire and a screen like the Prizm (or a prizm-Classpad hybrid).

In all honesty, I'm sticking by my earlier assertion of a Rickroll.

TI will include a new token whose only function is to use up important memory areas and textroll people.

You still haven't found out?


TI is going to release a new TI-Nspire device, the TI-Nspire CX Navigator:

Which means, they are going to release new TI-Nspire calculators, the TI-Nspire CX:
