Voyage 400 Leaked
Posted by Michael on 1 April 2003, 05:57 GMT
 Update: Please note that this was a joke. Please do not contact Texas Instruments or any of their resellers asking about this product - it does not exist.
TI is developing a new calculator, the Voyage 400. Leaked specifications and photos from TI have been floating around since Saturday. It appears to follow the tacky case colors of the existing calculators, but what really matters is that it has a 256-color LCD! It also features a 66 MHz ARM processor (presumably with 68k emulation?), 16 MB of flash, and an IR port with a "teacher select" to disable for testing. The scheduled release date is in August. Unfortunately I don't think there is sound, but this definitely is a nerd's dream. Update (Henrik): New information received from an anonymous source indicates that there is no sound output, but there is a link port that could possibly emulate sound output, like we have seen on other calcs. Further, there is an emulation layer so that Flash applications compiled for the Voyage 200 will be able to run unmodified. We will disclose further information as we get it. Update (Michael): ph33r my 31337 9R@pHIC5 5kilL5! Update: Again, please don't contact Texas Instruments regarding this non-existing calculator.

Oh my frickin' goodness!
That's so incredibly cool! I hope that these rumors are true and not just hype. That would be, like, WOW!
Finally TI is getting with the picture!

I pushed the pre-order button. I hope this information is annymous, because I don't want you guys to know I ordered some thongs (oops). I was hoping it would say something funny if I pre-ordered.

i have a horrible feeling this arm processor is going to give them reasons to make some seriously bloated code.
