TI-89 Starts Shipping
Posted on 19 August 1998, 17:35 GMT
Texas Instruments began shipping TI-89 units to dealers late last week, and they are expected to hit the shelves sometime next week. They will be available in the U.S. with distribution limited to one major retail outlet. Wider distribution will follow a month later. The TI-89 will also be available in France this month, but we have no information about other countries just yet.

If you can afford it I suggest by the 92 and the plus module for about $215. It is really nice. Big Screen. I think the 89 wont be as good because it tries to put a 92 plus on a smaller screen

I called office max and had them save me a ti-89. They are expecting them to come in late next week. How long do you think it will be before we can download games and other programs for the ti-89? Do you think it will take long for people to write programs for it?

I know we love how standardized our TI's our but I say we design our own OS! Don't worry you could always put TI's os back on. We could make a better UI, better programming support, multi-tasking, distribute binary instead of basic or asm, begin independant software design (a good thing), and push it to the limit! Fill the bank! Our TI's would be awesome!

Are you sure TI-89 is the best calculator or that TI don't have any other plan for releasing a better yet cheaper model in a few years? It costs about $150 and I don't want to buy a new calculator every year.

I don't know about anyone else, but I've called a couple Staples around me, and they don't have any clue when they are getting the TI-89 in... I think I might ask for the manager next time, although I am not sure if they would know... So are all Staples going to get in the TI-89?

This morning I received an e-mail from TI tech support. In part, it says:
"The TI-89 will be sold through these other major nationwide retailers
approximately a month after it becomes available at Staples (around the end
of September):
K-Mart
Office Depot
Office Max
Sears
Service Merchandise
Target
Wal-Mart"
In addition, the tech said that the TI-89 had been shipped to ALL instructional dealers, as listed on their web page.
