I suggest if you buy a color calc, don't buy the NSpire CX -- it only has Lua, and a decently slow implementation at that.  I wouldn't be surprised if the Prizm had Lua support within the next month or two.
I agree with this. But if you ever want to have a black and white TI I would recommend the following:
-TI nspire with 84 keypad. This has the nspire and the well known 84 included. The 84 is probably the most known TI calc, with the most programs made for it.
-NOT a TI 83(non plus)
-A 68K calc(preferably not the ti 92(non-plus) one)

I hope you mean Casio has an interpreter, because there's no way I'm going to get a acceptable version of Khavi out that soon :P

We don't know what Casio is going to do yet. My guess is that they will have an OS update sometime in August or possibly July. And this update will include something big.

List of stuff I need to do before September:
1. Finish the Emulator of the Casio Prizm (in active development)
2. Finish the the SH3 asm IDE/assembler/linker program (in active development)
3. Create a partial Java virtual machine  for the Prizm (not started)
4. Create Axe for the Prizm with an Axe legacy mode (in planning phase)
5. Develop a large set of C and asm libraries for the Prizm (some progress)
6. Create an emulator of the 83+ for the Prizm (not started)
7. Create a well polished game that showcases the ability of the Casio Prizm (not started)

An interpreter is a ton of work unless you can use already existing source code, especially threaded ones. The best way to put it is like writing a mini-OS. I can't imagine Casio would get enough from an interpreter to justify the effort.

Oh :P well good luck, we're all excited for Khavi's release :)

The Nspire is actually quite terrible at emulating the 84+. It works well for math, but many games fail to work at all. A normal 84+/84+SE would be better than an Nspire.

I don't really see any reason for them to include Lua, and I don't think they're going to add anything large like that this soon... I mean, the Prizm isn't even fully released yet! (Manager PLUS can't be bought, image converter is not available, etc.)

The next big update will probably be something like 3D graphing, fixing bugs, and the like.

3D graphing on the Prizm would be more than possible.

Like in the Nspire? I think that'd be great, even though I'm more interested in the way documents and pictures are handled. I'd love to be able to send pngs and such to my PRIZM.

There is going to be an image converter soon, so that you can easily turn PNGs (and JPGs and stuff) into a g3p.

Given that somebody is porting Lua to the 9860G, I wouldn't be surprised if it could be ported to the PRIZM once finished too.

Having Lua on both the Prizm and Nspire could make program porting a bit easier, aside from screen size and memory differences.
