Prizm almost sold out here in Germany
« on: March 01, 2011, 11:39:35 am »
Got the first question on where to buy the fx-CG 20 in Germany: http://www.casiofans.de/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=4131
Remember, the Prizm was first available in German online stores about two weeks ago!

O.O

Casio must be making a killing in Germany.

too bad casio isn't as recognized in the united states, their calcs sound like they're easier to hack for asm :P

Wow that's nice. I hope we see this happen elsewhere too. Unfortunately in USA the Prizm is still not marketted well: most store didn't pick it up. Over here in Canada I can't find it where I live. (Well... for me it's the cg10, but still...)

Right now I'm the only one in my school with a Prizm. And there is only one person with an nspire. (not a programmer  :P) Next year I will still probably be the only one with a Prizm. I'm also the only person who carries two graphing calculators  ;)

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)

That's unless Casio goes into some agressive marketting campaing, though. But then, TI might retaliate with an even stronger one.

It seems like there are a lot of schools now switching to the nspire. I don't know how much longer my school will still use the 84+, but it would be cool if I could have them endorse the Prizm by next year.

It'd be awesome if the Prizm actually competed with the Nspire. I don't want it to have the same smaller audience as the fx-9860g had.

Yeah. I remember the AFX had a decent audience and there was a small craze when the 9860G came out due to its higher speed, but it was never as high as what TI has now.

Other than being easier to asm hack, the nspire CX has the upper hand on the Prizm. Not just in audience, but also in hardware. To compete Casio would have to increase ram, increase rom, add SD card slot, and upgrade to a faster SH proc.

I'm still waiting for the SH-X to come out.   ;D

Yeah true, the Prizm RAM is so low compared to the Nspire. It seems like Casio is definitively more open towards 3rd-party dev than TI, though.

Considering TI is so much against dev on their calcs. Why do they place so much ram on the CX. I doubt the OS even uses a quarter of it at max.

Yeah I'm curious about that. They probably expect students to stock dozens and dozens of large documents with full of notes on their calc or just want to make the calc look more powerful and increase their sales.

Has anyone noticed that on Casio's Japan website they do not sell any graphing calcs. I wonder if graphing calculators can't be used in Japanese schools.They do sell scientific calcs though.
