I'll add that the reason I have them buy the Flip cam in lieu of a book is because there isn't *one* book that we can buy for that class. There are ten or more that have perhaps one section/chapter we could use, but to-date, there isn't one really good book for use as a class textbook. As for your other gadgets, I'd love to be able to require all of those, too. The phone is especially interesting for me, as I'd like to have students use qik.com as a site to experiment with re: spot news, for instance. But, there aren't any really inexpensive phones I can find that will work with the site. Also, the student would have to have an unlimited minutes data account, and that isn't realistic yet for students. I even explored the idea of getting one phone and having them share it, but that doesn't seem doable yet, either. Good post. Thanks for the link. Thanks, Allie.

My Macbook is also a huge part of my creative endeavors. This is how I take all of the content that I gather through these gadgets and turn it into something meaningful 2. We're definitely moving toward consolidating all of these capabilities into one tool, and I have no doubt we'll see this sooner than later. I completely agree on both points. 1.

It's right up there with food, water and shelter. And I'm waiting for the day when we can have one device that will combine all of those essentials listed in your post. They are getting closer with the iphone. And I saw a nokia that has a 5 mp camera. I can't wait to see where we are in 5, 10 years.
