I'm very saddened by the apparent lack of a 2.5mm I/O connector, but if they've chosen to just include USB emulation and will indeed have a TI-84+/SE emulator in the Nspire CX, all the more reason for me to develop Direct USB gCn...
Not that their TI-84+SE emulator actually emulates the USB hardware. That's why they made different OS versions for the Nspire, so they could implement their own USB "opcodes"
Only a proper 84+ keyboard would enable seamless 84+ emulation, and ditto (albeit much more unlikely...) for 89(T) emulation on the CAS model.
Lionel, ah, I didn't even think about a possible TI-89 emulator, but excellent point indeed! Now I want an Nspire with both those things. Calc84, indeed, but as long as I'm using the OS's USB subsystem, I don't have to worry about that.
is it confirmed that there will be some more programming capibilities?

Nothing is known about programming capabilities yet.
qazz: nothing is known yet indeed, but unless they reversed, all of a sudden, their nearly 5-year-old hard-liner stance on the Nspire 1 and 2, it's unlikely that programming capabilities will be good - especially low-level ones

I know I'm repeating myself over and over, but it's TI's calculators' duties to get students interested in programming. :S
Agreed. Many current and former members of the TI calculators open development community got one of their first long-lasting programming experiences on a TI calculator.

Definitely. I feel like many students that wouldn't otherwise have exposure to programming due to no friends and family and teachers who code, or lack of school courses, or economic constraints have gotten a taste of coding over the last twenty years thanks to their TI graphing calculators. I guess TI doesn't really care about that. Methinks it's time for me to send TI Cares another email, perhaps I can get them to make a statement on the programming capabilities of their upcoming calculators, although I seriously doubt it.

Yeah, seen that, but I'm not convinced yet.

still, that is a strangely non-generic response. Perhaps they expanded basic :/
Maybe they were just too lazy to put in decent commands after all?
heh, probably. Now that this is leaked I shall interrogate my teach who works for TI >

Excellent, Qazz! I hope you find us some juicy morsels, because I want to post some news about these developments. So far we know color, we have a mockup design, we don't know about programming or TI-84+/SE emulation, and we've heard "clamshell" thrown around.
Yes, sadly we discovered about this AFTER school ended for Feb break
ah well, it is a week's wait `-` not much compared to, idk, 700000 years or so...

Bummer. And she (he?) had already hinted to you about big things he or she knew were coming from TI, correct? Well, at any rate, I hope we get some more news soon. My mother was just asking me yesterday whether I was still planning on getting a Prizm or if I would just get TI's new calculator instead, or both, and to be honest, I don't really know yet.
yeah, it is a she and she hinted that it had to to with programming, but I could have mis-interpreted the signals and it just means there is a color nspire. meh

I hope that that is indeed the case. Also, in case anyone missed it, good ol' Duncan / Chronomex linked to this thread from ticalc.org's latest news article about the TI-Nspire CX.
*bump* So, do we know anything new about this device yet since the ticalc.org article? Details, confirmation, hardware, or programming?
