Now that is one stylish calculator! It even has a built-in backlight. %)

Why can't TI make something like that.

I saw it somewhere, after TrN on irc posted a link, pretty nice, apparently its very small tho so you may end up hitting keys you doN't want to accidentally, but seeing it's from casio I'm sure price will be much lower than TI calcs

Are those buttons "Help" and "Replay"? :huh:

ooh, pretty. Cheap too. Didn't they have one that was SD expandable too?

help must be....uhm... help files

Too bad the arrow keys are in a bad position, otherwise this could do for some pretty good games. And is it just me, or is there a headphone jack at the right side of the calculator?

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #6 on:** August 06, 2007, 02:40:00 am »

it may be a link port

I'd like to see someone try using that calc on a math test without being told to "Put the DS away"

haha lol ths would be weird

No stylus

"Replay". Hm.

Backlight's cool, you can finally use your calculator during the night w/o lights. (Unless you've already memorized the key locations, in which case you've already been doing so.)

looks light and portable.

Meh, I can probably figure out most of the key locations. It's the sreen that one should be worried about. That's what backlights are typically for anyway.

Well, you can memorize what will happen if you push a certain button. Of course, that means memorizing every menu, but...

I don't like that main menu setup i think it would be too hard to use as an actual calc but for gaming and programing it might be fun.
