I can completely understand why a company would want people to sign NDAs: it prevents the competition from getting the dirt too fast. In the specific case of TI, TI most likely wants to make sure that the first apps that are released for the calculator are its own: if information about the processor type got out too quickly, everyone would be busy writing up programs to compete with TI's apps.
