My Dr told be to not be so sedentary, so I broke down and bought a my first mobile device - a Kindle Fire ($199)!  The audio isn't great, and it's just wireless, but overall I'm very impressed. For the $$ I think we could get several for the lab, to give kids the experience of mobile computing.  It runs Android, supports Flash, and I have a couple of books on Android programming that I want to get into, to try making an app or two for it.  If people weren't making so much noise about the iPad, I think it could make a big impact in education. We'll see...  Now, how do you exercise with it...?
