correct but I was more reffering to the ease of use of python versus the (compiled) complexity of C-like languages

BASIC isn't slow at all on Nspires, though. Just depends on what proc the Prizm's gonna use.

well, TI better start getting to work!

They have really screwed up

I assume casio did this to get us nspire-infuriated people on their side...

I think this is the very first calc with a 16:9 widescreen

Lol, true. HDTV, anyone?

EDIT: You know what this means, though? We can finally truly calcroll people!

Sounds good.  It would be pretty awesome if this place supported TI and Casio -- that's a LOT of creative projects coming in

Technically, Omnimaga already supported HP and Casio as well back in 2005-07. Go to the downloads section and check out the RPG section: There are plenty of Casio and HP programs there. However, we failed to attract Casio/HP programmers with this so I pretty much gave up on the idea. To work this time, I think some of us will have to program a bit for the Casio Prizm too, to attract new Casio members.

All I am trying to say is that there is still plenty to achieve even on a calc as powerful as this one. From what I see from the video the GUI could use a makeover I personally find it very ugly...

I can't wait to get my hands on to this calc moreover because I never got the balls of casio's programming languages...I hope they support some sort of C or maybe python like language...

I don't think CasPython would be a very good choice. Python is already a slow language even on massively more powerful computers. A small calculator isn't a good platform for an interpreted language. Just look at TI-BASIC.

Anyway, with a better processor (and more memory), someone could build a music player. No more TI-84+ quality sound. We can move up to $5 drugstore player sound!

*Amazed at the possibility of porting Black to the Prizm*

It depends, BBC Basic for the 83+ seems to do a pretty good job at speed even if it's interpreted, yet it's for 6 MHz calcs. It's slower than Axe and ASM, though.

BASIC isn't slow at all on Nspires, though.

Except commands that display stuff on the screen:

I think this is the very first calc with a 16:9 widescreen

Yeah I think it is, although it is not the first widescreen calc. The TI-85, 86, Casio FX-9850G/9950G/9750G and 9860G series got 2:1 screens of 128x64 pixels.

ASHBAD ALVIN, That would be a great idea, having both TI and Casio topics.
Hopefully the Prizm will have lots of programming capabilities...

How hard is it for them to make a dumb touchpad to go with their nspire...

Ti will have to wake up now or else they are going to lose more than half of their 3rd party developers (who own like 25% of their calcs )

EDIT: okay, maybe 10%ish, but there are still 30% of calc owners who don't program but just download games)
