Yeah, by the way the reason for the 2x longer boot is because of the 2x longer key The nspire could have as fast of boot times as an 84+ without boot1 and boot2 getting in the way (Yes I realize you'd need a small boot1 to load the OS files, but that hardly counts.) and you wouldn't even need a standby option anymore.
I do see the wisdom of having, say, a 32 bit key on the OS to act as a form of corruption check, so the inexperienced don't screw up their calc sending a renamed program as the OS unintentionally.
Hmm...first thing I want to say is that I vote for a reflective screen (ala GBA non-SP and the calcs) and a frontlight if you want it. Transmissives are horrible outside, which is a big factor for calcs. If you want to spring for a transflective (both transmissive and reflective, gives benefits for outdoors while able to have an even backlight) that's fine, but I don't see a need to myself.
Other than that, if it's clamshell you could get away with a widescreen, ala the V200 That'd be sweet!
Edit: Ooh, maybe we could go OLED? depends on the pricing I guess.
not if you section it and bind the sections together. You can get a 2.5 inch ribbon cable down to a 1/4 inch dia. cable that way. I've seen it inside the gateway profile computers, so they can fit their IDE cables all over the place.
