News / Re: More early TI-Nspire prototype discoveries

I could just see one of these things floating in a bio chamber at Texas Instruments...

Well these do look cool, and very interesting.

Would it be too early to make a mockup? I already have some ideas for the keyboard layout!

OTcalc / Re: OTZ80 - Remember it? :D

Maybe Dreampad could be the new OTarm actually, since Ubergraphx/Ubercalc seems dead now.

Really? I'm not sure, but it will have an ARM processor...so maybe.

The OTcalc inspired me to start the DreamPad project. :D And I'm glad this is still alive (me want one).

Thanks for everyone's help! (No really, it helps! ;D) Now I think I should start thinking of the keyboard design and maybe some mockups. :D

If you look, your ideas are up on my first post. :D

Spoiler For original post:
Some of you have probably heard of my DreamPad project of building a mobile programming device. I won't talk much about it here, but I am totally rebooting the project. This is going to be a graphing calculator - and instead of figuring out how it would look first, I want to figure out what it is made up of first:
(Finished questions are in GREEN)

Screen Resolution: 320x240
Screen type: COLOR
A "Teacher Mode" / Press To Test: YES
Backlight: YES
Navigation type: ARROW KEYS
Wi-Fi capabilities: YES (and have a hardware switch to toggle)
USB functionality: YES (viewing USB devices on calc)
USB connection to computer: MASS STORAGE
Battery type: RECHARGEABLE (recharge through USB)
Dev board / processor type: BeagleBoard xM (It has an ARM processor)
Letter input type: ALPHA BUTTON
Sound: THROUGH HEADPHONES
Name: DreamCalc - Changed because of possible legal issues with Casio (ClassPad).
Now look at this BeagleBoard xM. These will be the specs for my graphing calculator:

It would be nice for a graphing calc, but is this a calculator or a laptop? I think this board would be better for the DreamPad instead of the DreamCalc...

I feel so guilty again x.x It's awful that things have to be this way this year (and part of it was my fault x.x)

VirtualBox is a must. Now I need to list all of these things I need to put in.

What package will it use? synaptics (apt-get)?

Yep, it has the most packages.

Yay a new version of EnvisionDev http://susegallery.com/a/b7UXzN/envisiondev-os

Are you also planning to keep us updated on your programming device by the way? (In your old topic)

Maybe, probably. I lost my concept notebook again x.x but I have an entirely new idea, a tablet PC sized device that would be a tall rectangle. Half of it would be a screen, and the other half would be a keyboard.

Yes, Python is OOP.

This isn't dead - I'm just working (pretty slowly) on my next two projects.

I've only coded in Python and HTML, and HTML really isn't much of a programming language, but I think OOP can just get in the way of things and even make a project harder.
