The company's former professional cycling team, TI-Raleigh, was successful enough to win the Tour de France in 1980.
The TI-Nspire and TI-Nspire CAS are both slated to hit instructional dealers this Fall for educators (commercially available by Fall 2008), so we'd suggest pinching those pennies now in back-to-school anticipation.

Snake has come a long way since being the quintessential TI-86 title, and although Nimblebit is straying far from their sim offerings such as Tiny Tower and Pocket Planes, the title has a lot going for it.
The TI-Nspire lineup maintains the same relative form factor, but offers up a few swank advancements such as multiple representations, "grab-and-move" functionality, resizing, dynamic linking, and of course, the oh-so-sweet ability to save and edit in-progress work (shown after the jump) right on the device.
ENGADGET: Texas Instruments finally gets fresh, unveils TI-Nspire calculators
You've seen the recent rumors of a TI-84 calculator with a color screen, and now Tech Powered Math has gotten the official word from Texas Instruments that such a device is indeed coming, finally bringing the popular line of calculators out of the monochrome age.

His biggest holding, wireless operator America Movil (nyse: AMX - news - people ), is up 4% since it announced earlier this month that it was in talks to buy a third of Olimpia, the holding company that controls Telecom Italia (nyse: TI - news - people ).
Processor loyalties could be split across the wider group, though: ASUS is said to be spreading the love by showing both an Intel-based tablet as well as one using NVIDIA's ARM-powered Tegra line, but Acer's previously rumored tablet is poised to go the Intel-only route, and Toshiba's may exist solely in a TI OMAP-based ARM camp.
This is a welcome departure from past Atrix devices which took advantage of Tegra 2 and TI OMAP -- we much prefer the overall performance on Krait chipsets (more on this later).
That's exactly the same price as the 12C, so come on, you HP and TI diehards -- duke it out and tell us which brand makes the better adding machine once and for all, won't you?

At the core of the Fidelio SoundBar are high quality TI Class-D amplifiers - with a built-in DAC - powered by a compact SMPS (Switch-Mode-Power-Supply) to provide a full digital architecture, delivering highly efficient audio amplification and premium audio quality.
However, the 707 pales in comparison to some slick-looking new models, like the PowerShot A310 from Canon (nyse: CAJ - news - people ) and the Cyber-shot DSC-TI from Sony (nyse: SNE - news - people ).
For those of us annoyed with friends and colleagues repeatedly showing off their new iPhone 5 or BlackBerry 10, Vertu offers the hand-crafted Ti model with 3.7-inch sapphire crystal screen and titanium case.
First and foremost, as we predicted back in March, the overall demand for high-speed modems and disk drives--and thus TI's DSP chipsets--has been much weaker than anyone anticipated.
However, the 707 pales in comparison to some slick-looking new models, like the PowerShot A310 from Canon and the Cyber-shot DSC-TI from Sony .
The headphones also feature COM-Ti Membrane Vibrating Technology which makes the treble pure and bright while keeping the bass mellow and thick.

The London is rumored to have a TI OMAP dual-core CPU clocking in at 1.5Ghz, 1GB RAM, 16GB storage, a 2 megapixel frong-facing camera and an 8 megapixel rear-facing camera, placing it within shooting distance of the competition.
International companies in all business spheres are scored by TI from 0-10 based on their disclosure of information important for investors and the general public, where they pay their taxes, their corporate structures and what they are doing to prevent corruption.
In the same two-year period, TI has bought more than a half-dozen DSP-related businesses, including SSi, Amati, Tartan and Go DSP.
On the inside, you've got a dual-core 1GHz TI OMAP 4428 CPU and 8GB 1GB of RAM to keep performance hopping, which is plenty -- this is, after all, a mobile OS we're talking about, even if it does live inside what appears to be an all-in-one PC.
TI's fourth-quarter outlook, published on October 22, did not comprehend these restructuring charges.

This led TI to report second-quarter earnings of only 11 cents a share, significantly lower than Wall Street had hoped for.
Then there is the London-based TI Group, the global leader in making the tiny copper tubes found in brake systems and refrigeration components.
Transparency International (TI) also found - perhaps unsurprisingly - that the poor were worst affected by corruption, because they were less able to afford to pay the small bribes that can sometimes be demanded in some countries.
The Register is reporting that in a private demo at CES, Neuros revealed that its upcoming Video Recorder (the Recorder III, pictured, for those of you keeping track) and Neuros III DAC MP3 player will be Linux-based and feature dual-core TI CPUs.

In developed markets like the U.S., TI says a range of phones would benefit from pico projectors. (The technology will run on any mobile operating system and is compatible with chipsets from companies other than TI.) Business-centric smartphones could include projectors for displaying PowerPoint projections or sales videos while high-end feature phones could incorporate them for social networking for teenagers.
FORBES: TI Says Pico Projectors Poised For Mobile Phone Resurgence
Considering the Nokia N900 runs Flash 9 extremely well on a 600MHz ARM Cortex A8-based TI OMAP 3 processor (and the Palm Pre, which uses the same chip, will be able to run Flash 10.1 when webOS 1.4 comes out) we don't see any reason other than politics that the iPad can't do it on that fancy new 1GHz dual-core Cortex A9-based A4 chip.

Now, each Android-based Vertu Ti will come already provisioned with Silent Circle out of the box.
In the two years since the sudden death of CEO Jerry Junkins, TI has sold 13 non-DSP business units.
Similar to the Bionic, it features a dual-core 1GHz TI OMAP CPU and delivers comparable benchmarks in the process.
