Hi ASHBAD_ALVIN, welcome to Omni. :)

Yeah, it's kinda sad to see that TI will lose some of it's monopoly, but it may lead to lower prices on calcs... ;D

Hi and welcome on the site ASHBAD_ALVIN.

Personally, the only reason why I got a TI-Nspire in the first place is because of the TI-84+ mode. I had a 83+, a defective 83+SE and wanted another calc that ran my games in 15 MHz mode and did not mind compatibilities issues very much. The TI-84+SE was more expensive than the TI-Nspire back then, where I live, so I felt it was a waste of money to get a 84+SE when I could get two calcs in one instead and didn't mind having 480 KB of archive instead of 1.5 MB. Finally, I rejoiced even more when I saw that the so-called 84+ mode was actually a 84+SE mode, even thought TI advertises it as regular 84+ on the package. Until Ndless 1.0 came out, I never used my TI-Nspire in Nspire mode very much.

Even the 83+ is more powerful than some previous computers ;)
What would they be afraid of? ??? It's not like it has wireless capabilities...

The 84 didn't either.  But now it has bluetooth compatibility, I think.
Then look at this thing, and you'd think whoever the BrandonW is of casio calcs would take almost no time at all to make a full-fledged web browser or something.
Or, some kids might use it as an mp3 player.
Or...

Bluetooth? Sound? I'm not sure the PRIZM has either of these...
* calcdude is confused and wonders whether he is misunderstanding.

I'm comparing what the 84 has now to the potential the Casio seems to have.

The Prizm is an awesome looking calculator. Finally a calc with a backlit color screen. 61Kb of RAM really? It is going to need 162Kb if video RAM just to display a full screen picture.
The 61KB of RAM is used for storing BASIC programs. You have 10MB of usable flash memory to store flash apps (C and Assembly) and whatever you want (text, pictures, etc.) On the fx-9860, you had 64KB RAM for storing BASIC progs, but if you wanted to write an app you had access to, I believe, 512KB of hardware RAM and you would just use malloc() to allocate memory for the video RAM or use the video RAM provided by the Casio OS.

I speculate in the future, CASIO might release a SD card version and a clam-shell version, just like they did for the fx-9860G.

Casio is most likely going to release a SDK where you can program in C or assembly. They've done so for all the previous calculators that officially supported add-ins (ClassPad and fx-9860G) and Casio has already released a couple of add-ins on their download site (IIRC, a units converter and a geometry app) so this calculator is surely capable of C and assembly programming. Casio even has an official SDK forum on their site, so they're aware that there are nerds out there who want to program and make apps.

A final note, the North American Prizm (fx-CG10) seems to be a bit crippled than the other Prizm (fx-CG20). From what it sounds like, images and movies (in CASIO's g3p format) created on a fx-CG20 cannot be opened on a fx-CG10, unless it was provided by Casio (On Casio's site you can download images/movies from their gallery: http://edu.casio.com/products/cg_series/materials.html) The fx-CG20 can open images and movies from both the fx-CG20 and fx-CG10. This was probably done so it would conform to testing standards in the US.

Oh, I get it, it opens like a clam.
One would think it's hard to fit all that high-tech stuff into such a small space, but then you look at the size of a cell phone and wonder how short of a time it's going to be until a calculator does the same thing.

Wow, that looks nothing like what my mind tells me should be a graphing calculator...

Remember that early Casio version? With the book-like layout?

I just noticed something: SIX SOFT KEYS!  Goodness me, S.A.D. would have been awesome for this.  That lack of a 6th soft-key on the Ti-83+ is really handicapping my soft-key menus.
