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.

It is Truth, the machine is in passes it of tests, as far as the resolution is far better to the Voyage, the memory and the processor is not even known, but what if we must do it is to write to him to TI so that it includes in the new machine all our requests.
So that it is the best computer of the world.

It appears that it may cost about $10 less than Voyage 200 and $20 more than 89Titanium. Or perhaps the same as the list price of the Titanium. I am basing this off of the above URL.
To get the identical software for your computer, PC or mac, with your handheld calculator would be twice as much.
It will be available to the public in August in Germany.

damn that calculator looks nice..... I would sell my current calcs, an 84 and 89 to help pay for it, if it comes out here. Plus I would be able to finish tests and quizzes in like 5 to 10 minutes with that thuing.

Even though TI seems to be adding piles of new features, thinking for you isn't one of them...although they might put it in later, we'll just have to wait and see. ;-)

They might even sell a robotic arm and video camera as separate hardware so you can hook it up to your TI-Nspire and it can take the test for you, even writing down the answers in your handwriting. Or they might wait until later to add that ability...

Why not just go all the way and add a neural interface to use it as a brain coprocessor for all the real thinking?

because that would be allowed on tests :)
maybe the slogan for this new calc should be: "Ti-Nspire-S: the first calculator that has a mind of its own"
lol. people would be afraid to buy it.

If they just made the calculator an implant that interfaces directly with your brain no one could tell if you were using one - could make going through metal detectors interesting though. Obviously TI is not doing that with the TI-Nspire, but maybe the next new calculator. Maybe the TI-Nspire will have telepathic powers so you can use it even if it is hidden somewhere. It would be much harder to keep people from using it then. The TI-Nspire could even hook up to a robotic copy of yourself so you don't even have to wake up in the morning to take tests. I bet the TI-Nspire is being designed by aliens. Or maybe not... :P

<farmer_voice> Nah, we old ticalc.org regulars know better *slaps no_one_2000 on back*. Hell, in the good old days, there'd be 20, 30 pages of comments... </farmer_voice>

No, seriously, this is nothing compared to this one survey we had a couple years ago on our favorite ticalc.org tradition (see link).

I don't think that made such a big splash, it's basically just a 83+.
