TI-Nspire Redesigned

Today, Texas Instruments changed the appearance and keyboard layout of their TI-Nspire line. The tan and blue shells have been replaced with black, and the keyboard layout is different, most noticeably having a separate section for alpha keys and a touch-sensitive cursor pad instead of the round pad, or the "Clickpad", as TI calls it now. It is unknown as of now whether or not the new keypads are compatible with legacy TI-Nspire models, but once we find out, we'll let you all know. Take a look at the redesigned TI-Nspires here.

Now, those nice, shiny models wouldn't be any good without a new OS. The TI-Nspire OS 2.0 is compatible with all retail versions of the TI-Nspire. The most noticeable differences with OS 2.0 are a different Home screen, subfolders, some I/O commands, separate buttons for Graphs and Geometry on the Home screen (although they're still one application), some new special characters, a Calculus menu in the Calculator application, and a new "Scratch-Pad", where you can quickly calculate things and draw graphical representations without being in a document. As this is one of the biggest updates we've seen for the TI-nspire, it's definitely worth a download.

Edit-New keyboards in a matching light blue color will be available for TI-Nspires for upgrading, costing $10 each.
