If the TI-Nspire has programming built-in?

The TI-Nspire is useable with 2 keypads- the TiNspire one and a 84+ SE one. I'm geussing since the 84+SE one offeres the same functions as the 84+SE, you can. The thing is, the TI-NSpire keyboard and the 84+SE keyboard actually use different file types between them, so transferance of 84 prgrams to NSpire is not possible. The actual programming shall probably be included, it was not on the TI NSpire website, but yeah, it better be included or else you need to keep programing TI 83 Basic, not that its bad or anything.

Here's a nice link.

I would be surprised if it didn't, as all the other graphing calcs have it.

They'd be fools to exclude a high-level language. It really doesn't matter though; Assembly is always an option. There's no way to get rid of that.

if they designed it well they can quite easily exclude asm programs from being run. the only way the 85 got asm was through a rather ingenious hack

Naw... TI will always make some form of App or something for the Nspire. If they don't make an SDK available to the public, people can dissect allowed programs to see how they're made. Validation and stuff won't stop anything.

First, Angel, thanks for fixing your quote of Adam Savage.

Second, thanks for your input guys, 'cause if the TI-Nspire doesn't have programming, I won't buy it.
