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.

me and my friend sean always pictured the day when TI and Casio would merg. Casio has a screwed up line of calcs that have three colors on them. The day has finally come, but casio is not in the deal and TI comes out with a 256 colored calc... THIS IS INDEPENDANCE DAY!!!!!

Well... 35 minutes until it's no longer April Fools Day... GMT, that is... I guess we'll see then... unless these ticalc people are some twisted cats (A Magnus thong? Why aren't you really making them? I'd bet some people would really buy them if only for the novelty of it...) Anywho... yeah.

Wow. Looks awesome. I've never seen a color calc before. But what's the price tag on something like this?

Awww.... It's too bad this is a fake news item... that's pretty cool though. Nice Adobe PhotoShop work, TI-Calc staff.
