e-Books to be delivered on a Sony PSP along with magazine subscriptions. With an e-Book reader students can sync their PSP through a USB cable or wireless bridge to the school LMS host and download the latest book lists for their course.
The PSP has a memory stick for persisting state enabling the book reader to use personal bookmarks, notes and track progress is the developers choose to take advantage of it.
Their progress and interaction could then be uploaded to the school or university host system to record their progress against their e-Portfolio and/or student record system.
Now all we need is the browser for the perfect thin client device we know will be in every kids schoolbag along with their ipod.
