Yes, but he probably misunderstood. (Because recent news went about this topic).
And I think it's quite weird for this to be your first post (And directing it to the founder of this forum).

I'm sorry for replying in a somewhat old thread, but has the new OS been released yet? Or is it due to come out soon? I was thinking of buying a CX and putting Ndless on it, but I need to know if I still can.

I hope I'm not being thick, I just couldn't tell by looking at the OP.

Not yet, and 2 days doesn't make it an old thread more like 3 months.

Quick question, can we not just use Home+Enter+EE (or something like that ) on the CX CAS and the other button combination on the other calcs to erase the current OS and then using the student/teacher software, reinstall 3.1?

I had a ti nspire cx running ndless 3.1, but I broke the screen today. I assumeall cx's now of 3. and i'm getting a new one. I guess I'd need to wait or switch with someone who doesnt care about ndless at my school.

Edit: Got a calc from best buy, looks like I got lucky, running 3.1.0.392

It's not uncommon for stores to have outdated OSes. They probably had it in stock since last september.

They only had 3 others in stock left, so if this happened not much later, I might have been stuck.

TI-Planet has them all, doesn't it?

Usually what happens is that stores will restock their Nspires once they're nearly out of stock, and TI will eliminate their older supply before releasing newer calcs or simply update them. At one point stores where the calcs sell quickly will get more recent ones, while some stores where they sell poorly will remain stuck with older ones, even more than one year old sometimes.

Also in other countries, sometimes it takes longer for something to get released. For example, the Casio PRIZM only arrived in August 2011 here, even though in USA it came out in January of that year. The Nspire Clickpad came out in 2008 instead of 2007. Where I live, the touchpad models came out 6 months after their US releases.
