If any CP300 has a SH3 processor and some add-ins were made without the official SDK, then those add-ins will most likely stop working on newer Classpad 3xx calcs, like what happened with some FX-9860G add-ins.

Exactly. CP300 addins do not work on the CP300+.
In this day and age there is just no good reason to intro a new device that requires a stylus.
Those high-end devices like ClassPad 400 and Nspire CX may be the last of their kind.
Hey wait! What is with the stylus I see in some pictures? If one has to use a stylus, that will be very disappointing and I won't buy one. Using a stylus is ancient obsolete technology and Casio has made a big mistake. I don't understand what is with the calculator makers? They come out with new devices with obsolete technology all the time. Like the lack of a touch screen on the TI stuff. Do they think we are stupid and won't notice? EVEN MY MICROWAVE OVEN HAS A TRUE TOUCH SCREEN, no stylus needed. I just don't get it. In this day and age there is just no good reason to intro a new device that requires a stylus. Bah humbug.
QuoteThose high-end devices like ClassPad 400 and Nspire CX may be the last of their kind. And it's not necessarily a bad thing. TI, Casio, HP and the others have milked dozens of millions of customers over the years, with severely overpriced devices whose hardware and software characteristics are significantly sub-par, and whose feature gap with leading edge devices keeps widening.If schools end up allowing smartphones and/or tablets, customers will no longer have to buy the largely redundant devices that calculators have become due to technological evolution, and due to ever dumbed down testing.
