i was thinking of working with chips and everything

are you going to send us pms? so we can join?

Project Alpha Beta Nider

Nah, um. Let's see. Project Out-Do TI? Project Foxtrot? If Omnicalc wasn't already an app that would be perfect

thats why i put omnimacalc and not omnicalc

i got one.  calculator: inspiration

sry, I didn't mean to harsh everyones mellow.

sounds good, still trying to figure out all the terms but ok.

i have an idea for advertiing.  when we finish, we can send about 10 calcs to each person who invested/ helped.  these to be sold at their school for the price that takes to make plus shiping and handling.  Then people will at least have heard of them.  Or we can let teachers borrow them.  that might be a great way to get started.
i know i am jumping ahead but i had the thought so

great info, thanks.  
To your question. I think the calculator should have enough math for at least algebra 2, if not more.
It would be great if this actually became a selling calculator.  one of the things that really sticks out with this is the color.  We could have graphing capabilities with each function a different adjustable color.  So many things could happen with color for math.  We could do alot with it.  If we would also be able to run asm programs through it, well that opens up alot for making games and everything.

things i would like to see:
1-10 for imporance for me.

color-7
mouse or keyboard port-5
math-8/9
speed-???
connectivity possibility with ti calcs.-6

how much are we going to spend on each calc to make?
max price for:
screen-
buttons-
shell of calculator-
battery-
back up battery-
hardware and chips-
advertisement-
shipping-
location of selling-

total cost?-
selling price?-
profit?-

I doubt we will get so lucky King graphmastur, the hero of the land, but we can still hope.  Truthfully i am just glad that we are on speaking terms with ti-cares.
