New TI-Nspire CAS+ announced in Germany

The announcement for the TI-Nspire CAS+ is in German, but most of the screen shots include English text. This looks like a successor to the TI-89 Titanium and Voyage 200. The demo shows toolbars of iconic symbols and operators, implying a touch-screen and stylus of some sort, but some screen shots show a small arrow cursor,so perhaps the Nspire has a built-in pointing device of some kind.

Here's a Babelfished translation of the introductory page:

Mathematics becomes better understandable for each pupil Each pupil learns differently. One understands better formulas, second tables, third diagrams. The new TI Nspire? CAS deals with these specific learning habits. With him one can represent contents in such a way in each case, how the individual pupil understands her best. This happens, by using formulas, tables, graphs, geometrical constructions and text alone in each case or dynamically with one another linked. By the cross-linking of these different mathematical representations your pupils and pupil win a deep mathematical understanding. The TI Nspire CAS can be served simply; the key functions are self-describing. The functions are so clearly arranged that not used applications confuse nor divert neither. It at the same time offers large function variety for highest requirements.

Configurations
TI-Nspire™ CAS is available as Handheld and also for PCS and MACs.

TI Nspire CAS covers the following applications:

Calculator
Computer algebra application with comfortable formula editor

Graph & Geometry
Plotten of graphs and geometrical constructions integrate

Lists & Spreadsheet
Spread-sheet analysis, lists and wertetabelle integrate

DATA Collection
Recording of measurement – and evaluation with car Launch

Notes
Simple text processing

These applications are among themselves dynamically linked. This means that variables and definitions from applications are available also in the other applications. If one changes a variable in an application, then this change is transferred also in the other applications.

The following accessories are to TI-Nspire™ CAS available:

TI History Book: Engineering The World

This book was published last October, but I just noticed it now. From the lone Amazon review: This handsome volume, lavishly illustrated with photos from Texas Instruments archives, is the culmination of a TI-history project that proceeded spasmodically over many years and which reportedly produced an earlier manuscript that was vetoed by the company's then president. Here is the corporate site for the book, and this is a Cnet blog blurb.

I will eventually post a review.
