TI-Nspire

It’s public now. Texas Instruments, my employer, has announced publicly the TI-Nspire calculator, the project I’ve been working on for the last 8 months. In the US, it should be out to dealers in the fall and be in retail stores for back to school 2008.

Note:
This is my personal web site. Anything said on this site does not represent the position of my employer. Nothing about this site is related to TI or what I do at work. I’m simply repeating information found on the official site, so that everyone knows what I’ve been so busy working this last year.
If you are interested in the Nspire, I suggest checking out the site above, and using Nspire interest form on the site. Also you can contact the TI-Cares Customer Support for more information.
Please don’t contact me directly with questions or comments related to TI or any of its products. I won’t be able to help you. If you do contact me about anything related to TI, please don’t be offended if I don’t respond.

Hello,
I see the documentation of the NSpire on the TI website but I don’t see some features what was part of the classicals TI 68k calcs (TI89 TI92 TI92+ V200).
For example I don’t see how to plot a surface (in a 3D plot). That was possible with TI92 not with NSpire (for now).
I also don’t see if it is possible to program on the calculator (using a sort of TI BASIC). I don’t see other languages supports (such as ASM and C… like the SDK that was given by TI for FlashApps)
So I consider that NSpire is for now just a return behind (behind 68k)
Even if the processor is much better… even if the GUI is better too (maybe the best) I consider NSpire as a not finished product… I hope that next release of the OS will solve this…
In my mind a very innovative calc will be a calc that could run a little Linux OS and softwares such a Octave, Scilab…
Maybe you could say more about NSpire now… for example why “Mono & .Net” tags in this article…
Regards

Have a look at
http://www.ticalc.org/archives/news/articles/14/142/142643.html
it deals with the limited programming capabilities of the TI-NSpire…
I don’t understand why someone like you, who is very envolved in open source project like Mono, can work for a so locked calculator… (I hope it will be modified soon !)

Hello,
Congratulations for Nspire – I think it’s a fantastic system.
I know that you can’t talk on future improvements, but at least you could suggest adding Laplace function to Nspire CAS like Classpad. It’s a very important function for EE courses
Please, just think about that.
Thanks

The programing features on this are seriously in need of a tune-up.
Do you know how i would go about making a quadratic formula function for it?
