1. Learning Technologies 08 and 2. mobile technology for visually impaired

Only went to exhibition, found that everything seems a bit more packaged, maybe just me - didn’t find any real ‘hubs’ of innovation from smaller companies, but there was a nice buzz around. And no 3D rollercoaster ride down a molecule like BETT
One takeaway for me - PSP in education, the PSPs can now use Skype - e.g via Connected Education so you can have Skype video calling using your PSP as well as the language practice and other features such as vlogging (I think it is or similar) an initiative from BT & Sony called Go Messenger on the PSP.
I have always been a fan of the PSP browser size - for a mobile device, it felt sufficiently big enough to look at comfortably. When I was doing web stats for Poole, I noticed we had regular PSP visitors which I guess means there are others out there who feel the same way. Nice to see things from Sony like Messenger and Virtuoso for language training.

This article from iD4, describes a new Nokia phone which can read text from anything that that is photographed text into speech, this is great. The brilliant Little Springs have more on this with a link to this article as well
