In what other language would this statement compile without error:

Once you got PDFs or JPGs you need to somehow organize them in a meaningful way: - by document date (a lot of extra work to add that)? - by type (could be done while scanning)? - by expiry date? - by sender/recipient ? OCR the content and make it conveniently available What system would do that?

I'll buy again. Heck I even would buy a give-two-get-one. The original machine had huge gaps between promise and delivery, but worked nicely reading blogs in bright sunlight. What I would wish for howerver is some documentation which batch my donated machine(s) would go to. I actually would be ready to chat with the receiver from time to time. Sutra Mitra had identified this as a booster for learning. And IMHO learning is key to anybody's future.

I used a number of devices with different sizes. The 2.3" mini Android phone up to a 10.1" tablet. My current favorite form factor is 7". It fits into a cargo pocket or a (inner) pocket of a jacket (even a suit, but I guess that's not your concern). I currently use a Huawei MediaPad. Solid unibody, great screen resolution. Runs Android 3.2 (unfortunately they haven't announced when they will upgrade to 4.0). Huawei leaves the UI in its original state, so you get pure Android bliss. Biggest let-down: you have a separate charger, it won't charge through USB, so you need to carry an adapter. It is slimmer than the Samsung 7"

... later on in the workplace it is called "effective collaboration and asset reuse". Could it be, that the way test are administered is out of sync with live's reality and "cheating" the the adjustment to that?

While to the best source for scientific accuracy, Effin's science did a similar experiment in episode 2, where texting detoriated attention even worse than drinking. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It's_Effin'_Science

Get yourself a Blackberry and an unlimited international data plan. When I travel there the BB (albeit connected to a BES) can access any website, Facebook works, Twitter works since all traffic is routed through the BES. You need to check with your phone provider if that is true for BIS too. Beats fiddling with VPN and stuff by length. If access to all this doesn't matter: a cheap China Mobile prepaid SIM and a Xiaomi Android --- or a Huawei Ideos (a bit slow, so that's if calls is your main app).
