Christmas List
Yes, you read that correctly. I have already found my one and only item I want to put on my Christmas list. Vicki Davis blogged about it (between loads of laundry) today and I immediately told hubby that is what I want. It’s called a FlipStart.
According to Vicki:
This little device has a 5 hour battery life and wifi access built in along with a regular keyboard (albeit a little smaller than regular). You can really do just about anything on this little gizmo, write, research, surf.
The drawbacks according to the podcast: the Windows interface design isn’t great for anything smaller than a 12″ display — this one has a 5 1/2 inch display however using the zoom feature with web pages seems to be quite nice.
In terms of category, this device sits somewhere in between the Smart Phone and the Laptop Computer.
I think the future will rest in the hand of our students!
The price is a bit steep at $2000 without battery. But, wow – under 2 pounds and look how portable. This is definitely one I will have my eye on between now and December 25th. I’m going to have to be really good this year!
Until next time ~

I got my birthday present early — an ipod nano– it is amazing how these little gadgets can improve our lives!
