@ Maccool:

I think that you are dead-on regarding this being a wise investment for parents--provided that children can be trusted with a $350 electronic device. Of course, it seems a glut of junior high schooler now own/want their own cell phone &/ iPod, so there could be hope.

Wonder if SONY would be willing to give group/bulk discounts. If the marketing department sought out PTA's and Departments of Education, they could carve out quite a large niche. That is, providing that they do not step on the toes of the publishers. Maybe a tie in with Scholastic Reader? They could have a RSS feed for the the Reader....

At any rate, Great point Maccool
