** One is the trade-off between filtered and unlimited access to the resources of the Web, educational and otherwise. I tend towards the unlimited end of the scale but fully acknowledge the need for some degree of filtering, especially for younger children.
** The second trade-off is one of cost, scale and scope. Paper textbooks and good for cost, OK for scale but poor for scope; E-Books are OK for cost, OK for scale and OK for scope; PCs are poor for cost, OK for scale but great for scope.

The billing problem is soluble and does not necessarily apply to all hand-held devices (for instance, the wi-fi enabled iPod Touch shown in the video above would be an excellent educational device, if you can manage to avoid it being stolen or being used to assist exam cheats). However, it will be some time before mobile operators move to flat-rate billing while they are still making such good profits out of usage-based pricing.
