I recently received a letter from Addison-Wesley discussing
a calculus(?) text they will publish that incorporates the use
of graphing calculators. They mentioned the
Casio and HP-28s calculators, and also indicated that Texas
Instrument would soon be releasing a graphics calculator. Does
anyone know anything about this calculator? When will it be
available? How will it compare with the HP-28s?
Thanks for any information.

The TI-81 calculator has been shown at math education conferences, although it is not available yet. In features it is generally comparable to the Casio FX-7000, with most observers preferring the TI over the Casio.

Just wondering, is there any reason why the FX-7000 is the only Casio ever mentioned? The FX-8500 has been available since last summer and it's basically an 8000 with about 8K of memory.
