I got my hands on a CX on Thursday; unfortunately, this is the first time I've had a stable internet connection since then.  Once I got it, I opened it ASAP and charged it up and immediately began making my first program - a quadratic solver. 

The CX yielded some surprising and not-so-surprising information.  Anyway, it turns out I get a slidecase after all. 

Yay, TI didn't take the dumb route!

- The CX includes a slide case

Good.

- Battery percentage is measured in increments of 25%

Reasonable. You don't really need anything more, lol.

- Length and width are very similar to an 84, but about half as wide

Nice, how does it feel in your pocket?

- Battery life is similar to a phone's  (or maybe I use it too much.  )

You probably do I doubt anyone outside this community replaces their batteries as often as we do.

- Shiny

- Light

Finally.

- Screen dims after a couple of minutes of no use

Sounds like a nice feature. Is there also Auto-Power Down^TM?

- 115.2 MB of space left after OS is installed

That's great! I wonder if it could be used as a flash drive someday.

It's pretty much a handheld computer.  Turning on seems to take no time at all, but turning off does.

Awesome! You mean you don't have to wait ten seconds for it to turn on anymore? That really annoyed me on the Nspire.

As for this, the answer is definitely yes.  A video of the CX is available for download here, as requested by Scout. 

* sigh... At least the specs are nice.

On a side note, I met program4 this weekend. 

Nice

What'd you think?

EDIT: It's a bit longer too, I guess.

We should do ndless for os 3.0 asap.

Easier said than done

AFAIK, it only supports its Lithium Ion Battery.
And yes, there is APD, you can even set the time before it APDs.

EDIT:  btw, there's a "Reset" Button on the back of the CX (the kind you stick a paper clip in to reset), presumably to allow teachers to reset calcs with ease.  I suggest covering it up with masking tape and write your name on it. 

Did ti fix the desolve bug or is it now in the cx also?

The Prizm also has a reset button on its back, but it doesn't do much because the OS stores very little in RAM. How the Prizm does memory management is that when you create or edit a file it is stored in the MCS, which is a section of RAM. Then the next time you shut down the calc, the MCS is saved to flash. Plus unlike on the 84+ it's impossible to select between ram or flash storage. In other words it acts more like a real computer. So really the only way for a teacher to delete everything would be to delete the upper half of ROM which is the Mass storage mapped portion. This can be done from the memory menu, but through the use of hacks it is possible to save items in the lower half of ROM which is unaffected by archive clears.   

Ah ok. I wonder how fast batteries will be drained when Wi-fi is used... with the PSP it was insane...

How is the APD? ON the Prizm you can choose 10 minutes or 60, and you can set the LCD so after 30 seconds of non-use, it decreases to the lowest backlight level. The backlight doesn't turn OFF, though.

APD can be set to 1, 3, 5, 10, or 30 minutes.  Auto Dim can be set to.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 5 minutes

by the way, some times random squares of color appear on the screen until you click something.  but otherwise, the screen's quite nice. 

And if you attempt to use a CAS-only function, there's an ad for the Nspire CX CAS. 

I will as soon as it comes up again.
