Alternative to iPad

I have been lucky enough to have worked with iPad for sometime and I really would be lost without it. However this I feel is a really good alternative and at a fraction of the prize . The 7inch Android 2.1 Scroll Multi Touch Screen Tablet for £159.00 has many of the features of i pad. These include touch screen, landscape and portrait mode. The tablet has a built in web cam and speakers so you can listen to music, watch videos and view photos. The best part for me is the capacity to be able to add your own peripherals be2 x USB ports for adding your own e.g. external Hard drives.-- HDMI out for connection to a monitor or HD ready TV so you can view your movies on the big screen.-- Micro-SD slot – so you can expand the storage of your device up to 32 GB as you fill it up with movies, games, music & photos.

Alternative to Delicious

There are rumours that Yahoo may be with drawing the free social booking marking site Delicious it may be worth taking a look at another alternative if the rumours turn out to be true.This in itself is a lose to the e -learning world if the rumours turn out to be true you might want to take a look at is Mister Wong.

Mister Wong is very similar to Delicious you import your bookmarks from Delicious into Mister Wong and you can use public book marks and create books. MR Wong will allow you to translate in some different languages. One of the Pros for Mister Wong is that the navigation is really simple to use. http://www.mister-wong.com/

This may be an alternative however it may be the case that if enough people Twitter or Facebook against the lose of Delicious Yahoo may continue the service.
