Take a look at what Critor found!
Real? Fake? Photoshop? Prototype that won't come to market? And what about the odd Nspire CX CLM (Clamshell) that TI-Bank found?
What about a hardware mod? Is is so hard to believe someone could make something like this?

The difficulty in getting the hardware to fit in this formfactor, not to mention having to replace the LCD ribbon cable somehow.

Oddly enough, that looks a LOT like the Ultimate Calculator 3 plans, except smaller, since of course TI has infinitely better fabbing capabilities than me. I should tell them to stop stealing my ideas. 
Looks like a semi replica of the Canon FN-600 Scientific Calculator. I do not trust the picture. It has definitly been altered, but that does not mean it won't come into existence.

Haha, you just reminded me of something. Check out the Casio FX-9860GSLIM Slim.
I think that just about solves it...

Yeah, I think so. Guess it's just a bad photoshop job.
Awww, Either
1. Critor did it on purpose (passed of the pic as the calc)
2. Critor did not know
3. TI is REALLY losing their originality...

Haha, true, I don't see critor being mean like that
btw, I was going to make this topic, but you beat me too it
Wow. Casio knows how to make a calculator. It has a back light and supports SD cards.
I wonder if people can write their own games and programs for this thing...

Yes! And you don't even have to jailbreak it to do so! Isn't that amazing?
This thing seems awesome. I was so inspired that I did a mock-up of what my Zelda project might look like on this platform...
I wonder which languages it supports. Any ASM? Just BASIC? What sort of limitations do we have here?
Well, I know that the Prizm supports SH3 ASM and standard C. No known limitations. There's a whole bunch of threads about the Prizm on Cemetech; you should take a look.
I just peed my pants a little. I'm tempted to force myself to learn some kind of language just to code for this calculator model.
Haha, that is indeed most exciting. To be honest, I'm not sure why I don't have one of these calculators.
The first tip off that it isn't a TI calculator is the form factor. Standardized testing (from which TI derives it's stranglehold on the high school calculator market) usually requires a standard calculator keypad, rather than a horizontal arrangement. Like how the 92/V200 series are banned from standardized tests, but the more advanced 89Ti (and old school 89) are allowed.

True, but what about the new (and slightly less new) Nspires that have the A-Z keypad at the bottom?
It still looks like a calculator, which is really all I think they care about.
