[edit] Information

I think the information on hardware of handheld could be verified on the TI web. So I did the edit. Rockvee 16:56, 3 September 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Links

Is there any information that isn't on the TI website that's on the ticalcs thread? Allynfolksjr 05:33, 23 August 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Processor

Anyone know what processor it uses? The box from other articles has it under m68k but I can't find anything to back that up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.205.76.44 (talk • contribs)

The TI website seems to imply that its CAS is an improved version of the TI-89 Titanium's, so I think it's likely that it uses the 68k CPU. Jibjibjib 06:43, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Actually it doesn't. The CPU is a lot faster than the 68k calcs, and a comment here suggests it's an ARM. Jibjibjib 06:53, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Prototyp

Hi, my Schol calls gets on Monday those calculators as prototypes, as far as I know we don't have an NDA with TI so how could I help expanding this Artickle except of taking a Picture ;)

(We don't get the Linkcable und the Software yet)

[edit] "Dynamically linked" applications

"The TI-Nspire CAS has the capability to display dynamically linked applications."

Is "dynamically linked" actually the term used by TI? If it's not the official term, could we call it something else, because "dynamically linked application" has a specific technical meaning which is different to how it's used here, so the terminology as used in the article is confusing.

[edit] Isolate formular in CAS

I have this software and would like to know if there is a smart way to solve this assignment, like the solve-command:

Isolate n in the following formula:

s = 5(n - 4) + r

Its very easy to solve linear equations by using the CAS version. Screenshot here: NSpire CAS equation solver

[edit] Survey - in opposition to the move

[edit] Move done

The move has now been accomplished. DES (talk) 19:37, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nspire CAS Picture

I just shot a picture of my new NSPIRE Cas. nspire.jpg

Its free for Wikipedia.--Mordwinzew (GER) Wiki 20:58, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Some technical informations (not official) and pictures from the TIGCC team

[edit] Other

"Fall 2008"... should be replaced by Summer 2007... In Europe the calc is now sold Moreover ticalc.org says that it can be obtain now (Summer 2007) in the US

[edit] Outdated information

The information in the first line, right after the title, appears to be written a few months ago and needs to be updated. Dragon 280 17:18, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Price

What are the prices of the two?

-KevinJi9 (talk) 01:10, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

I've added some info for you, but I can't give exact prices, just what TI says. Dragon 280 (talk) 18:22, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] What was the advertisement heading added for?

There was no justification at all given for marking it as such. The entire article is made up of a series of NPOV desciptions of the calculator from a variety of reliable sources- there is no opinions given as to whether you should buy the product or not. In addition, there is criticism section at the bottom of an article- I doubt a real advertisement would have one!

If you want more in-depth details about what the calculator can do, you're going to have to let experts with the calculator be their own source. Until then, and unless you can think of something better to put in it's place, this article should not be marked for deletion. I removed the heading because of this. 206.66.218.140 (talk) 20:38, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nspire CAS+

I saw a few references to an "NSpire CAS+" model on the web in a few places, including photos, but nothing about them on TI's website. So I dropped them an email. Here's the convo:

My message:

TI's website describes the Nspire and the Nspire CAS, however I have seen for sale in various places the "Nspire CAS+" which the Nspire CAS, but with a slightly different colour scheme, more buttons, and a clickwheell in the middle of the circular pad. There is no information about the product elsewhere on the Internet (even TI's own website), I was wondering if you could inform me of the differences between the Nspire CAS and the Nspire CAS+ Thanks

Their reply:

Thank you for contacting Texas Instruments. The TI-Nspire Cas+ is a prototype model, it was given to selected individuals and schools as part of an evaluation process by Texas Instruments. The TI-Nspire CAS+ prototype utilized a preproduction operating system and software, as such it does not contain complete functionality or utility. Any representation that a prototype unit is identical to production units or that it can be upgraded to use production versions of the operating system or software is false. Kind regards, Lander De Schepper Texas Instruments European Customer Service Center Education Technology

Is it worth mentioning on the article page? W3bbo (talk) 22:03, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Upon further research, it turns out the "Nspire CAS+" was a working name for the CAS's prototype. Upon reaching the final revision they ditched the "+" from the name. Source: http://www.datamath.org/Graphing/NSpire_CAS.htm W3bbo (talk) 00:07, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] More technical details needed

Can you give more exact technical details about the TI-Nspire? Dragon 280 (talk) 15:49, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
