@ TheStorm Suggested retail is $150, about the same as the TI-89. Though looking online I've seen anywhere from $119 at amazon.com - $150 elsewhere . Havent checked Ebay yet. I'll post some side-by side stats later for the HP 50G in comparison to the TI-89 Titanium. Are there any other calcs I should include?

It is all about user base, more people working on TIs than HPs...Schools have a greater standard with TIs being in the classrooms, therefore more people to play the games :)

i luv the AMS interface on the 68ks, though I find myself gaming on my calc more often.

oh ya, does casio/hp make viewscreens like TI for overhead projectors?  maybe that's another reason why schools prefer TI.  you can easily show kids how to use their calcs for stuff other than games on the white board.

edit:
I think all the calcs are pretty good, though when making games, I think I'd like to be able to share it, so user base is big.

Misc. Info:
In additon to a key pad the casio class pad 330 has a touch screen, and yes it is 160x240 res .

Hp 50 G Also has a clock function with alarms. Reverse Polish Notation(RPN) LISP is a combination of Reverse polish notation and the LISP programming language. RPN is not a language, just a format for putting in equations (as far as I know).

Nspire's Basic is extremly basic right now, no way to detect key presses yet, disp is the only command that can display stuff.

This took a while to compile, so I hope it is useful. :)

Or you can get the nspire cas which has more math power but it doesn't have the 84 keypad. they just need more programing capibilty and they will pwn hp and casio.

o.o seriously, with those specs, they seriously need to open it up to the community.

just wondering, how does the grayscale look on the nspire?  is it actually used for anything like antialiasing or is everything still b/w in the menus?

Quickly and easily prepare TI-Nspire and TI-Nspire CAS handhelds for test day. Educators can simply press a reset button located on the back of each unit.
and from what I can see more of the menus are in b&w but they may use the grayscale in other areas.

When and if programming is opened on it, that will be disabled I hope (probably not possible unless a open case mod)...

or if we do get programing they might be stupid and allow for something as easy as a program that intercepts it and displays the mem cleared message.

By software do you mean user created software, or the TI-OS vs the HP-OS ? TI is easy to use, and I havent ever used a HP. I don't know how their OS is setup or how easy to use it is.
I have a Casio. It is hell to use.
