Do you think we'll have issues with the name at some point?
You also are missing an essential button: ? !joking (not that I would be angry if you add it )
Woah the Nspire has no Sin/Cos/Tan buttons? I sure hope it has such features, though... all scientific calcs, even the cheapest ones, got them X.x
But yeah I am so impatient in seeing that calc prototype in action at one point. It just looks so great and I wish you the best of luck in reaching your goal.
Aside from the keyboard, are there any other input methods (like something analog) or extension ports (USB) planned?
I have a little question: Will you stick with that Armstrong gui, or will you switch to another one?
If you're gonna have a USB port where you could potentially connect HD's and stuff, will there be a power adapter to connect to an outlet or something to help power those devices? My friend once connected his 500GB portable HD into his TI-89 and it instantly drained his calc so it'll need something like that for the more power hungry devices.

His external hard drive probably already had another port on it for power, sometimes in the form of a second USB port. With high current draw devices, you would usually want a second power supply anyway.
Yeah, and the TI otg port only gives out 100ma, IIRC.
No it's single usb powered. Idk, maybe his batteries were low?
uberspire.com just went down. Like, a minute before this message is posted."defaultwebpage.cgi"
Nop, they have a different host.
Well, I was originally googling around to find out what was the release date for the TI-nspire CX (since they're being overly cryptic about it), when I happened to stumble upon one of your posts. This is everything I could want and more, and there's no way I'm getting a TI now. If there's any official way to "sign up" for the preorders before you actually start taking preorders, I'd love to do so soon. Unfortunately, it still seems that you're being plagued with web-hosting issues. I managed to view the homepage for a bit but that's about it and now it's displaying nothing but errors again.On a technical sidenote: I loved the renderings you posted on page 11 (I believe) of this topic. However, I noticed that your "numpad" so to speak has a rather... peculiar arrangement--specifically numbers 1-6. I'm still not sure if there's just something wrong with my eyes since no one else has mentioned it.I registered for this site just to post this. I really hope you can get enough funding for this.

As for the host I think you should switch hosting. I would even be willing to give you space on my old 1and1 space if you wanted to, although I'M unsure if I would be able to setup the domain name for it. Everytime I check your site it's down or takes several minutes to load.
By the way personally I think you might want to change your nickname at one point on your site, because TI might go insane if this is successful and accuse you of using the spire part of Nspire in it and forces you to remove anything that looks like the Nspire name from your site. You might win, but TI is just like that, sometimes (seeing what happened with the key factoring 2 years ago).
Actually, you can post a comment below: http://www.uberspire.com/?p=69. I'm trying to get a rough number of how many people would like to preorder an UberGraphX.
