TI Designs New Calculator in Germany
Posted by Michael on 12 April 2006, 15:03 GMT

[TI-Nspire CAS] It appears that TI has a new calculator under development, however it only appears on the German version of TI's website. The TI-Nspire CAS (translation) is seemingly in a pre-release phase.

TI has a flash demo posted which shows some information about the calculator. It is a departure from all previous models, with a new GUI and what looks like a grayscale screen. There is no information yet on the hardware specifications, other than it has a USB port and two USB ports on a cradle (if I am translating German correctly). In any case, this new upcoming calculator is more exciting than watching Joey Gannon dancing in lederhosen.

Please keep in mind that the image to the right is one of TI's mockups which is drawn in Photoshop (or photo editor of their choice). It is not an actual image.

Hm, the 83+'s screen looks just about as square as that one...

Look at this detailed picture of it. I like it, but I think those green buttons next to evrything is unnecessary...

I forgot to mention that the picture was in the "my website" section.

The dimensions of that picture are 314x237 and the screen on a ti-83 is 96x64, so yes if that picture is the actual screen it is a little bit more square than an ti-83

Good thing about Nspire games: They will have good graphics and likely good gameplay. Bad thing about Nspire games: Won't be very easy to do the actual key-hitting.
