I might consider getting the keypad later, but I'll probably stick with the old one. more games call for D-Pads than mice, and cursors with pads are a pain to use, even if there is no tap to click.
I wonder if the old keypad works on a new Nspire or if the new one works on the old Nspire

It does, actually, providing you have the new OS (or so I've heard) but don't try it with 1.1! I don't know what would happen.

That would be cool. Maybe I could try to get one for cheap on Ebay eventually

BTW at the moment education.ti.com is selling them along with the PC emulator for $10 apiece, in the old color scheme. You might want to pick one up now, as they might bump the price back to $40, where it was before the touch came out. Personally, I'm still deciding if I want one, and I'll wait to see what people use it for. Hopefully, they'll be cross compatible for asm, or we'd have a pretty big mess on our hands!

EDIT: I just got another idea for a USB addon that would rock: USB Video card. We could add on a GPU, possibly an external monitor as well! (I'd rather just have it help out with 3D on the Calc screen though) This could give us true OpenGL capabilities, possibly!

a USB hub, 3G Modem, USB Video Card, USB sound card + integrated speakers, and Bluetooth. I don't think that's a calculator anymore..... ::) More like a Grayscale PDA with good math capabilities.

do they sell them for that price outside the States?

EDIT: 7777 posts :P

I'm not sure, but when you select Canada on their site it takes you to the US one, and says that you should use country select outside of US/Canada, so maybe it's the same price for you!

EDIT: Remember, though, their emulator is worthless. It isn't really emulating the nspire, just the OS ported to windows. It's no good for ASM development. Just stick to goplat's for that stuff.

Aaaah ok, and yeah I know about their emu. I never bothered getting it myself. Heck, even their 83+ Flash Debugger emu was not that reliable. It ran ASM but it was slow and some prog did not work well.

Yeah, like TI-Boy didn't work at all. Even in silver edition they didn't emulate those ram pages :P. They cut way too many corners.

However, they do deserve a little credit. They didn't call the new one an emulator.

Actually on the old Silver Editions the TI-Boy emu worked, though. 83+SE (discontinued) and early 84+SE models

I think he was talking about the Flash debugger...

That's really cool!  Can you give us/me a link to this page?  Thanks! ;D

Mhmm $11 in Canada (in US dollar), not too bad. I wonder how high they charge for shipping, tho.

I don't know. Hopefully not too much. Am I right in thinking that ASM programs will have to be programmed to recognize which one is in to properly map the keypad? I can see people running the touchpad that get gbc4nspire and it doesn't work, when ndless 2 comes out.
