Image
Distractions, distractions, they're always there and definitely more prevalent than 10 years ago. We knew going into the jetBook K-12 project that this was going to be the case so we didn't put WiFi on our devices, but instead we loaded it with all sorts of textbooks and interactive programs, but most importantly we left it open for teachers to load what they create with NO LIMITS.

At the January 2011 CES expo in Las Vegas, Chinese e-reader and tablet developer Hanvon teasingly announced the upcoming release of their color e-ink reader; ditto their presence at BEA in late May, but those devices, originally slated to launch in China in March and release to North America later this year, are as of yet still unavailable to consumers eagerly awaiting the opportunity to use the technology that they got to experiment with briefly at those events. “Hanvon is currently working on several new e-reader models, including the world’s first monochromatic 200 dpi e-ink reader and the world’s first color e-ink reader.
