And calculators? biggrin.gif

But actually this is kind of sad. I wish TI was as instrumental(get it) in the tech industry as they used to be.

Looks like Tegra3 and Qualcomm Snapdragon's put the hurt on the OMAP processors

Does the TI calculator still cost more than an iPhone?

They cost a bit more than $100 for the most common one, the TI-84. You'd think with 15 year old tech that they would have gone down in price though.

I have 2 of the Graphics TI calculators and they were $235 each, need them for maths at school.

it seems the industry is really turning into survival of the fittest. Sucks to see that, i love to see competition in the market place, but i dont think TI will ever go under they do so much other stuff that people dont realize.

And I thought Apple prices were bad.

Shocking, as Google saw the TI SoCs good enough to use an OMAP in the Galaxy Nexus...
