When I bought my TI-89t around 2007, it came with something like 23 apps installed. They also made the calculator unstable enough to lock up every two minutes until I deleted most of them to make room for my stuff. Great product testing on TI's part, right?

In trying to test Doors CS 7's behavior on a TI-84 Plus Silver Edition with very little free Archive (ie, with frequent Garbage Collects), I filled a TI-84 Plus SE with every App I could find to download and still had space left over. I think I hit in the several dozens, probably around 40 or 50. Someone eventually pointed out that TI-Boy games or RealSound songs would help fill huge amounts of space.

Why didn't you just generate a large empty app?

About 100, because that's approximately what my Nspire Clickpad had in 84+SE mode by default. Ugh. Normally I keep around 11-20, though.

Wow, really? I honestly didn't have much of a clue what the largest practical number of installed flash apps actually is, so I sort of had to guess at the appropriate poll options. :-)

I think it was around 30 or so on a TI-83+SE. It was more because I'd just upgraded from a regular 83+ and I COULD load that many apps on, than that I actually used them. XD I now use a Voyage 200 and have about 5 apps on it. I may get that new 84+ color at some point, but money is too scarce at the moment.

I seem to remember having installed 2 /non/-flash apps on my TI-86 back when I was playing with its OS features. It is interesting that they made hooks for extending the OS rather than just making the ROM a little bit larger (although perhaps they thought they might come up with new features later...& maybe that is even what happened with the apps that existed).

(I also installed some flash apps on other models, of course. Yay Command Post Plus & GTC.)

Interesting, I didn't know that the TI-86 had hooks.

It supports something called ASAP, which allows assembly programs to integrate into the OS menus. I don't know much about it myself beyond that it exists and that the Finance 'app' uses it.

I have had something like 10, I didn't count. I had so much I wiped and backed up when I wanted a video. BUT they are BIG. Too big for my standard TI-84, 2385072884 S-0407H. (serial number)
