We’ll have to see if the Archos 5 meets all of our needs. I need to start learning to develop for Android though, or we’ll never truly know. Any suggestions for Android programming primers? My background has been mostly in C# and NS Basic for Palm. I have done some VB.NET, Javascript, and a little Actionscript.

chippy wrote a new blog post: iPhone 4G Images? iPad? Shanzai? What IS this? 11 hours, 14 minutes ago
I just noticed this post over at UMPCFever. It’ a photo set of an iPhone 4G. Is it the first iPad unboxing?
We guess it’s some sort of Shanzai rip-off but it’s looking good anyway! Stay tuned for an update on this.

Anyway, after trotting over to the T-Mobile store and connecting to my Mifi to the [...] -

It looks like we’re finally going to order an Archos 5IT for testing as our new data collection device. Bye bye Alphasmart Dana!

Chippy,I will definitely let you know what device we choose. It will likely be a device that has your blessing. I’ve been following your posts via Twitter for most of the year (as well as JKK and Jenn @ Pocketables). I really appreciate your honest, objective reviews. Thanks!
