Kenya pilots handheld education

EduVision is a company based out of Kenya that is trying to eliminate the cost of textbooks to make education more affordable. They instead hand out PDAs which can store and display a large amount of educational e-content. The PDAs can even be used to do and submit assignments, plus the new form factor makes studying and teaching even more exciting. The content is downloaded over the satellite in the school buildings, and then pushed across to the student PDAs on WiFi. Here is a link to a BBC article on this.
