The user guide's already out? Too bad there's no info on the calc itself, though.

Yeah I wish they gave info on the processor. At least the good thing is that we can use some colors in BASIC, we have Getkey and such stuff. I think there's even string commands. I hope that BASIC is as fast, if not faster than the 9860G, though. If it's as slow as the old calcs it's nearly useless for games.

Does anyone know the processor clock? Maybe they threw a snapdragon in it XD
That would be amazing, but I doubt that's the case. :/ I'm sure it'll be decent though. =)

Still, it should be decent if it's an ARM. A 200mhz chip is pretty cheap nowadays. ($5 or so)

At least close to the nspire, maybe only 80 mhz instead of 150, either way it'll be great. The nspire sucked because of its OS, mostly.

Wow, BASIC with a fast processor and color... This is going to be (even) more a gaming device than the Z80s!

well I need to get prepared for the SDK: does anyone know of a good 16 bit image editor?

I'm excited about the Prizm, mainly because it might bait TI into a price drop on the 8x-series calcs :)

Yeah, this is gonna be cool. The potential of a (relatively) high-resolution screen with color is just outstanding.

By the way, Casio-BANK mentions that the 9860G, GII and 9750GII calcs got 100-ish MHz processors in this tutorial http://casio.bank.free.fr/index.php?mod=archives&ac=voir&id=127 . I wonder if that is what will have the Prizm or if it will be even faster? If I remember, on the 9860G, the processor was clocked down to 29 MHz during the OS execution, but I could be wrong. I found the info on Wikipedia a while ago.

Still, that is much better than TI84s. The CPU is probably a SuperH, like their previous models. I'm pretty sure there is a gcc for that.

I hope those calcs are downclocked to 29-ish MHz, though, because if their BASIC can't even beat a 83+ in speed with a 100 MHz processor, then it's pretty sad...

Someone should port Axe Parser to the Prizm when it comes out. :P

I would not be surprised if they were >100 MHz.  Once I compared the graphing speeds by doing about 10  of the same equations...the 9750 was already done when the 84 was finishing the second one.

Axe parser on the Prizm--that would be awesome

I saw the Prizm on google shopping, for $120, but there was no major sellers.

Really? I checked Ebay often to see if prototypes were leaked there and no luck.
