Big news from Casio at September NCTM

[HPCarnace]

The most unfortunate thing is that Casio seems not to provide support for installing third-party add-ons (such as khiCAS). Thanks to users, there is an unofficial SDK for CG50. Apart from that you cannot edit a program file on the PC when connecting the Casio CG50/9750GIII because it is handled only as a USB flash drive. Casio lacks a lot of development in the aspect of the PC file editor. They couldn't handle Casio Basic, as they weren't able to give the programs more variables than the old A-Z and theta. Bad code indentation in Basic and that's why they gave up and in the new calculators it seems that they only hope to work with Python. We will have to wait 10 years and see if they finally evolve with variable names, data entry structures (like Dialog.. EndDlog, ToolBar..EndTBar on the Voyage200/TI89) in Basic. The programs are what make these calculators great, but I think Casio still thinks that "programming" for the end user is putting formulas in the form of a short program.
