Or maybe calc networking, much like how your teacher takes the control of your PC to show something to everyone so everyone sees on their screen whatever the teacher is doing on his computer, but on-calc.

probably something like that, since teachers only care about stupid things like that.  Only COOL people like ndless type stuff :)
Then we'll figure out how that networking works, then hack out something like KermMartian's gCn for the 83+. Then ???? and PROFIT.

Also, do the projector thing like they did for the other series of calcs exists?

Nope, they're gonna add Java and a Python interpreter :P And an on-calc IDE.

We can only wish. TI is to evil to let us do that
EDIT:*ruler hopes so bad for a python interpreter

I think everyone's ignoring the obvious: it's a TI-BASIC command called TheGame that plays a sixteen level greyscale rickroll. Like every other TI-OS feature, it will also use an ungodly amount of memory.

For some reasons, I don't think this will be a new calc, because the last time they made new calcs they got leaked several months before release. On ticalc.org and other sites you can find Nspire discussions from back in 2006. To me, it seems more like Nspire OS 2.2 or 3.0 will just add plenty of math features and maybe a few small programming functions but nothing signifiant, but that OS will take like 23-24MB and might not work with Ndless 2.0.

But again maybe they'll announce a new calc. They might want to compete against the Prizm.

@Juju they do have an nspire viewscseen. I think it uses USB, but it might use the dock connector, not sure.

That said, I wonder if TI will eventually release a TI-Nspire memory expansion pack. Maybe they're making OSes large purposely to eventually make people buy more Flash. :P

I'm hoping for an ASM command :P and an SDK.

OH! I forgot about the SDK! IIRC on TI-BANK there were rumors about a possible SDK for Spring 2011 along with the new OS, but there was no source. Apparently it would be a paid SDK, though, like TI-Flash Debugger back in 1999-2002. (The reason why back in the days nobody made apps)

Well, that is possible. One thing for sure is that the new thing is not a new OS or such. I really do hope for  SDK :D

I'm in America, and Winter Break = Christmas Break...must be a public school thing.

As for what the secret thing could be, maybe it's new programming in the calcs to prevent non-TI calc geeks like us from messing with the settings? Or worse, something to prevent us from hiding our programs from teachers?

I doubt the teacher knows what the word "Programming" means though :P unless it's a comp. sci. teacher

Thing is, maybe the teacher confused it with something else or misheard it, like "New Color Nspire!" with "Your house is on Fire!"...

:) jk

I don't know, teachers tend to know all sorts of things that you wouldn't expect them to know...
