Build your own mobile learning device?

I thought this item on the BBC Click website sounded like a brilliant idea. Basically the user selects a series of components for example a digital camera, an LCD screen, a GPS unit and clicks them together to create a handheld device that can geocode the image taken. Although this innovative product is still in the embryonic stage additional components are being developed and it will not be long before it hits the high street!

This could potentially provide learning providers with the opportunity to customise handheld devices to meet the specific needs of its learners, additional components can be purchased as and when required to create new devices without the need to purchase completely new devices each time a new need is identified .

I hope you will agree this idea has great potential for the future.
