I was gonna edit it but Graph ninja'd me :P

Oh, different ninja...  The way I figure it, the insult to TI at the end isn't going to make a company any more likely to tell you all this information.  A professional email will get professional results.

Hello, Casio Education:

My name is Adam and I'm a 14 year old student and I'm a devoted developer for graphing calculators. I like making games, utilities, and math/science programs for them.  I really wish to develop for your new prizm model, which I hear is to be released sometime in January 2011.  I have a few questions, to see what power the prizm will give me to develop.

Will the prizm have a SDK for C/assembly programming?  If so, is it free to use and do I need license to use it?

What processor is it based on? What is the processing speed of the processor?

What color palette does the prizm use? Does the SDK (if there is one) allow use of all of it's colors?

How much of the 16mb storage is free for me to use with add-ins?

How is data transferred from calculator to computer?

Thanks in advance for all of your help!  I am looking forward to your new model.  I hope the prizm supports at least some 3rd party development; if so, it is the TI-NSpire killer!

Waiting anxiously for your reply,
Adam

Fixed. Again, insulting TI in a letter to Casio will hurt your chances rather than help you. That, I can pretty much guarantee.

Nope! j/k. I don't think it's over the word count. Are you sending from a hotmail/gmail account? What error is it giving?

Try in different browser? (or maybe they got too many Casio Prizm e-mails and purposely broke their e-mail form to not receive anymore :P)

Also nice find Graph! One thing I hope, though, is that the loading bar won't appear everytime we store stuff to real vars, though. This would make BASIC programs ugly... O.O

Which could mean that their memory is insanely slow.  Other than that, I can only assume it is a flag, and can be disabled software wise. I might just get one of these.

How much data must you store to see a loading bar?  :o

That's some slow memory right there...

On the other hand, I hope that busy indicator goes away too.

See, it says that when you see the loading bar, don't turn it off or reset it. So, I don't think it has completely to do with reading/writing. Just, large pieces of data, and again, I'm sure it's disable-able.

sounds more like the old archiving/unarchiving system to me. Saving to flash ROM brings up the loading bar, but not saving a var in RAM. (at least I hope :P)

I guess it's probably when archiving/unarchiving. I just hope it won't appear when doing 1->A for example. My problem is not the slowness, it's if it over-appears. Even if it appears during 0.02 seconds it would still suck if you made a game and you saw an ugly pop up flicker in the screen all game long. :crazy:

I think he had troubles sending it. Is there an e-mail address somewhere so he doesn't have to use the e-mail form?
