The video below does a good job outlining the app's feature set. TI has seemingly packed in plenty of functionality, including the ability to import your existing. Many of the function keys math students have become all too familiar with are here, though the four-way touchpad has been omitted since the touchscreen can handle those interactions. The $29.99 app obviously draws heavily from TI's physical TI-Nspire calculators while taking advantage of the iPad's roomy display. Texas Instruments is among those companies, and today it's released TI-Nspire, a graphing calculator designed specifically for Apple's tablet.

Apple wants to make the iPad an essential tool in the classroom, but it can't accomplish that mission without help from some important education mainstays.
