It looks like it will need to be jailbroken...:( or maybe it won't :D I hope not. It looks really cool. I probably won't get one though. I'm not made of money :P

i bet this actually has weaker specs than the nspire.....16 MB of User-accessible RAM (Nspire had 27, well at least in 1.1, not so much in 2.1 :P) probably weaker CPU too. hopefully though, Casio will now how to make a decent, optimized OS for it.

Just wow. I've always heard people say that color on a calc is overkill, let alone full color, but it's hard to resist! I'd definitely want to keep an eye on what the development capabilities on this thing are. For me personally, that's the #1 criterion for choosing a handheld device.

it definitely should. Casio hasn't let down users in its programming language like TI has for the TI-nspire. if it didn't then why would they have a TI-nspire in an old classroom and then the Prizm in the new one? surely they wanted to differentiate between the two.
Still, there might be a chance that it displays pictures, graphs, shapes but no programming, i really hope Casio doesn't go down that path, similiar to the path that TI took
Well, i am worried about the RAM, the current calc the 9860 at least had MBs of RAM
Actually nope, the 9860 got 64 KB of user RAM. I have one.

I personally believe that it will have some sort of BASIC language for it, considering that the lower right hand button has "EXE" on it, if not at least assembler support.

hopefully, they'll give out an sdk for their apps. Although, from what I've seen, TI's 84+ SDK was less capable than axe.

Just posted that idea on TI-Bank a few hours ago! :p
You're totally right: while would you go on playing NES games in 4-bits grayscale on an unreadable blurred Nspire screen, when you can play them on the wonderfull 16-bits color Prizm screen! \^.^/

We still need to know the cpu family and frequency... Couldn't find anything about that...

The screen appears to be slightly too small to fit the whole NES screen, which is also a problem.

Like on all recent Casio calculators (fx-9860G/GII), there will be a PC SDK to develop applications (they're called "Add-ins" is the Casio world). Add-ins support has been announced by Casio.

That's not the main problem.
The NES screen could still be scaled or scrolled (anyway, there are often menu bars at the top or the bottom...).

Yeah, I guess you're right about that. It's not alot of space either, I think it's about 32 pixels or something like that.

On the site I swear I saw 384x216 display. There would only be like 8 missing pixels at the top or bottom of the screen. On such small screen it would most likely be hard to read stuff, tho, assuming the calc size is similar to the FX-9860G

Personally, I'm both happy and sad that TI let this happen.  I serious;y would have bought an Nspire in 2008 if there was ANY assembly support of ANY KIND.  Same in 2009 and 2010.  But I'm fed up, so this really made my day (I literally was singing to DAvid Lee Roth in some Van Halen songs this mornin when I saw the news)

Oh and by the way, this is my first post here I believe.  Nice site!
