What is the menu layout for the soft keys btw?

A soft-key menu can have up to six items, but the sixth item will always, always be an arrow to move to another menu.  Just like 3x3 menus, you can use hotkeys and arrow keys.  The first 5 item hotkeys are the soft keys, and the 6th item (which I would have liked to have a 6th soft key for) will have up/down arrows for the hotkey, since they are not needed for soft-key menus

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.

I didn't notice that. So it's kind of like the HP calcs, which also have six soft keys.

One thing that would have been cool is if they had arranged the alpha keys like the HPs do, so that you can still enter numbers without switching out of alpha-lock.

You need exactly 6 keys?

Maybe we could start porting stuff to the Casio calc!

Weird; in middle school, several years ago, I expected that eventually we'd have full-color calculators by high school, and, not out of high school, we have them!
Depending on whether the thing will have 3rd-party ASM/C dev abilities, I might highly consider getting one, no regrets. Of course, if I do, I'll be getting the non-American version. (This is due to the picture issue mentioned above.)

Even if the Casio does only basic programming, I'm sure it will be much better than Ti-Nspire basic

That is very sad. TI better get their hands out of their pants and get busy.

Generous?  Yes. Insane?  No. Color PDAs can run that cheap given the same specifications.  Agreed, the Nspire is just a ripoff to make money for TI.

Given that this would be the most powerful graphing calculator around, it's inevitable that the price will not necessarly be as cheap as some PDAs and cellphones, as it is not meant to compete against those directly, but rather against other calculators.

As for the TI-Nspire, it is indeed a ripoff and the TI-84+ is 10x worse, given its performances. (although the later offers more freedom)

That just makes TI even more unethical than i thought. With all its actions to limit the use of its calcs for games and programming and making people buy it by discontinuing older models, why why why is TI acting not like a proper company and like one that wants to get money???
I've always liked Casio better,however i swayed towards TI when I originally learnt about all its calcs and how it had more dominance than Casio (in general). Now, I'm swaying back to preferring Casio calcs, and this Prizm is a big incentive...
