Rare TI Calculator Prototype
Posted by Michael on 8 February 2007, 22:18 GMT

[TI PLT SHH1] Joerg Woerner of the Datamath Calculator Museum has been kind enough to share with us photos and information about a never-released TI prototype calculator: the PLT SHH1, featuring an OMAP 1510 processor, 16 MB RAM, and a SD slot. In conjunction with its PLT WS1 cradle, it also had 802.11b wireless capability. Joerg is asking that anyone with additional information about this calculator e-mail him.

Wow - dual-core ARM9 and DSP processor. Looks like an early version of what eventually became the TI-nSPIRE.

They need to write AMS for PalmOS and sell that. It would be better than a calculator, especially now that the Z22 is under $100usa.

Besides, you could put it on any processor you want, with as much memory as you want...

Or maybe someone should make a calc emulator for the Z22...?

Exactly! It would be extremely universal what with all the different Palm handhelds and now the smartphones that run PalmOS.

Anyone know how to program an emulator?

For that matter, anyone know how to program PalmOS?

There are a bunch of C IDEs for the Palm, some are even free. I never messed with them, but they seem pretty straight foward to use. Of course, that probably isn't of much use for an emulator program...

This on looks better than the Ti-Nspire.

Yeah, especially since the arrow keys aren't in the center of the calc.

the hardware sounds cool but I can see why it was only a prototype

I think that TI is creating things that aren't really calculators any more,

Maybe ticalc should go to some kind of open source program like "phpBB" or "MyBB". I have phpBB for my site and it works rather well (with smilies).

Ticalc get's it's unique messaging system from slashdot.org (hell, the whole site looks like it).
Why do we need smilies? This place is no-frills for a reason.

No, they don't. The ticalc.org staff wrote the message boards here from scratch. They're totally custom.

And I would go so far as to say that the lack of smilies is a bonus. Truthfully, ticalc has the nicest message boards anywhere on the web, especially now that slashdot changed theirs.

Definitely. If I was creating a site with message boards, I'd ask to use their code.

I know it's custom, but the similarities are numerous.

If you want MyBB, go to the URL. :D

Er... Ahem. Sorry about that. Just had to say that, lol.

Sweet! Me too! It's sooo stylish, too (in my opinion, at least). Not have the extended keyboard really changes things. . .

It's so cool; maybe TI will use it as inspiration for their next calculator after the TI-Nspire. . .

I like the look s of it, but fewer buttons would take some getting used to.
