Just like buses ...

I wonder what the collective noun for a lot of mini handheld computers might be? Having put out a Google alert for such things I am beginning to think that there will be no end to the set/group/mash/??

And I managed to miss one ... Following up a lead led me to the Gizmodo site where I discovered:



Innovations for Learning just announced a blue GameBoy-like handheld computer designed for schools. It's got directional buttons, a few face buttons, a 2.5-inch LCD, USB sync, SD card storage, AC/USB charging, and a 3.5-hour battery life. Inside the teachermate is a "complete reading and math curriculum that is aligned with all of the major reading and math programs," which means it can help substitute the learning a K-2 school student already receives.

They're a non-profit company, which means they only charge the cost of manufacturing the device, $50, but the reading and math programs cost $20 per student. The initial rollout will be at 500 Chicago elementary schools.

I am sure now that I have missed others ... imagine Bitesize running on one of these !
