It's the yellow thing that plugs into the top.

Isn't there a other color? It looks ugly IMO :P

Hey Jim. Awesome work. I'm already looking forward to buying a navigator. I had a question/idea. Is it possible to view web pages on the Nspire with any computer so long as that computer has the web browser you created? Also with the ability to access a website, would it be possible for someone to send a text message/email via phone to a simplified website and another person reply to it via Nspire? If it's even slightly possible, it could open numerous doors.

What about porting Lynx or another text-based browser? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynx_(web_browser)

I've looked at different possibilities, and I would like to port one, but I don't have much spare time. But I'm definitely thinking about it.

Xacto: I'd only buy a navigator if you're a teacher, because otherwise it's a waste of money. I'd be better to get a cheap tiny linux board that has wifi on it, and run my libti* based program on it. Also, theoretically the nspire can do anything any internet device can do.

Indeed. The Nspire is ludicrously overpriced for its hardware capabilities:
* the Raspberry Pi and friends are easily 5 times more powerful but 4 to 6 times cheaper than the Nspire;
* each of the four cores of an ORDROID-X (dev board using the same processor as the Samsung Galaxy S III) is more than 10 times more powerful than the Nspire, while the ORDROID-X is not necessarily more expensive than a Nspire (it doesn't have a built-in keyboard or screen, but unlike the Nspire, it supports standard keyboards and screens, and many other peripherals, out of the box).

Hold on a sec. So your saying that with enough work, time, and patience, you could effectively give a Nspire WiFi/Web Browsing capabilities without a computer? That's awesome! Also, thanks for the heads up. How hard would it be to run your program on the linux board, how much would it cost, and where could I get one? Lastly, is it possible or likely that your program will be able to work with just a standard Ethernet cable and an adapter to connect it to the Nspire?

Easy :)
Installing Lua and the build dependencies for libti* is trivial.

how much would it cost,
A Raspberry Pi costs 25 or 35 $ / €, depending on the model; an ORDROID-X costs 120$ (160$ if you add a large eMMC).
Hence the figures in my previous post.

and where could I get one?
From various resellers on the Internet :)

Is it out of the question that one day it could be possible to use a normal, run-of-the-mill wifi dongle?

It would be possible if someone spends a lot of time on the subject, something that many people in the Nspire community are missing.

I would be willing to do that, but unfortunately I have the skills nor the time to do it :( It would be awesome though.

Would the browser work with saved websites? Like if I were to create a fully browsable offline copy of a website, would I be able to use your program to view the web pages? Also if I were to click a link, would it go to that page, provided I had the data to load it? I think instead of going to a certain address to get information, it would have go to a certain folder on calc.

Awesome! What would it take though? And would it be difficult or time consuming?

it should actually be less time consuming as your pc doesn't have to access the internet XD
but i don't think the software (pc side and nspire side) is made for that (nspire side for telling the pc to grab a offline file)
