Title: Future of Nspire Ti-Basic Programming?

"Features a dedicated programming environment as well as programming libraries for global access to user-defined functions & programs"

Is it possible that the Nspire CX will have a much better programming environment than before?  I'm sorry if this question had been asked, but I don't know

And by user defined, they probably mean teacher defined... for which you have to get a license and wear one of those little GPS ankle bracelets...

Okay, I really hope this isn't TI's idea of an April Fools' joke :P

Hmm I wonder what this means, especially now with that crippled 84+ OS... it would be nice, though, because if the Nspire had good BASIC programmability like the 84+, a lot more people would program for it.

I hope it really does have support for libraries, because that means getkey.

Or they mean the libraries as they are defined at page 403 of the Nspire user manual (http://education.ti.com/downloads/guidebooks/ti-nspire2/TI-NSpire_SS_Guide_EN.pdf) ...

You can make your own libs really easily right now. They're just written in Nspire basic, and therefore as useless as programming it yourself.

Also, I am willing to bet any CX improvements will also be in the old nspire 3.0 version as well. ;D
