Or maybe they're still selling it in the US?

The problem is not that TI-84+SE are not sold...

TI-Germany, TI-Swiss and TI-Austria have clearly indicated that the production of TI-84+SE has been stopped.

So, the problem is that TI-84+SE are not manufactured any more.


While they are still TI-84+SE in stocks, you can go on buying them. But it's a matter of weeks/months, before they disappear completly from the shops.

I've just checked all TI web pages.

List of TI web pages showing the TI-84+SE as discontinued:

Wait, what about TI-83+?

Edit:
Also, TI-84+BE is still in production? I guess this isn't quite as bad as I thought

Yes, TI-83+BE and TI-84+BE are still in production... for now.


But after the TI-84+SE, just try to guess which calculator is going to be disontinued next...

! this is just rediculous. Why stop selling there best calc?

Juste read or translate the TI-Bank news...
The reason is very simple: to make the TI-Nspire the "best calc", once all other good calcs will have been discontinued.

No surprise the swiss TI-84+SE page links to the TI-Nspire...

The end of the TI-z80... has begun... :'(
Today is a very sad day...

Sad news...

TI US/Canada web site hasn't annouced it yet, but according to TI-Germany and TI-Swiss web sites, the TI-84+SE has been discontinued. :'(

The TI-84+SE had 1.5Mb archive memory. The basic TI-84+ only has 480Kb... If this is not enough, the only choice remaining is the TI-Nspire.


Another action from TI in order to force users to the Nspire technology.

Too bad they try to sell more TI-Nspire calculators, not by improving the Nspire OS, but by discontinuing other calculators, so that the Nspire will remain the only choice.

UPDATE by DJ Omnimaga (October 4th 2010): It seems all the production stoppages were removed altogether. Was this a mistake? Did someone from the US/Canada division of TI thought it was an error and edited them back even if it is not an error? Or... are Texas Instruments just unable to make up their mind?

We're going to have a "big" problem with Ndless 1.7 and the CAS TI-Nspire TouchPad.

It was perfectly possible to install and use Ndless 1.0/1.1 on both CAS and basic TI-Nspire TouchPad.


With the basic 1.7 OS, you should still be able to install and use Ndless 1.7 on the basic TI-Nspire TouchPad.
You'll just have to learn the new key-equivalents, or replace your TouchPad keypad with a ClickPad keypad.


On the CAS TI-Nspire TouchPad, the "big" problem we'll have to deal with, is that the CAS 1.7 OS won't boot correctly, with any of the 4 available keypads:
- with the CAS TouchPad keypad, you're getting a dialog box when the progress bar reaches 100%, saying something like "unrecognized keypad! install an official keypad! contact TI Education [ . . . ]", and the system doesn't seem to react to any key press
- with the basic TouchPad keypad, same thing
- with the 84+ keypad, same thing
- with the ClickPad keypad, the calculator just reboots when the progress bar reaches 100%

Those tests were done during the Nleash beta-testing, and published on TI-Bank:

Despite I can boot all OSes 1.1-2.1 on my basic TI-Nspire TouchPad, I cannot with my CAS TI-Nspire TouchPad.

I only can boot 1.1-1.4, and 2.0-2.1 OSes on my CAS TI-Nspire TouchPad.
OSes 1.6 and 1.7 are sharing the same problem, and so are unusable for now.
Something has been changed on those OSes...


I hope we can find a way to trick those OSes... or we get Ndless 2.0
Whichever...

Like I said, I'm working on a TI-83/84+ emulation library that I plan to run in Silverlight.  Anyone who has or is willing to install Silverlight (i.e. anyone with Windows 7) can use it easily.

I don't have Windows 7

The major issue with a client-side (flash, java, silverlight, etc...) emulator, though, is that the ROM would have to be sent along with it, or the user would have to select their own. If it's sent along, then it'd be illegal. If it's their own, then they might as well just use a normal emulator.

There are many situations where you cannot use a normal emulator you know.
(no administrator priviledges / school computer, DLL conflict, no compatibility with your current OS...)

In those cases, an online portable Java/Flash emulator is the best choice.
