We have got a lot done.
We have recorded about 2 hours of video so far, taken a mass of pics, written lots of code and debugged lots of bugs.

Word Processor on kindle 3G
PrimaryPad appears to be the first collaborative word processor to be available for Kindle and it sure packs one hell of a Punch. PrimaryPad is based on Etherpad so you can do really-real time collaboration over the net. Currently the user interface is a bit tricky to operate but this will be improved over the next few months.
What does this mean? If someone calls you and asks you to proof read a letter you can easily do it on your kindle and make any changes in really-real time.
What does it mean for schools? Could this be the beginning of the demise of school infrastructures including servers/wireless networks. Could 3G/HSDPA be your device connectivity of the future.
This is the first announcement by the Etherpad foundation due over the next 5 days, with another 4 expected it is great news and hopefully a sign of things to come!
When you see it you will love it.
Primary Pad is going to be free again!
Last week Primary Pad closed pro registration due to an influx of international schools using the service, this week Primary Pad is asking you how long you want it free for.
Get on board and vote what you think is fair. Personally I will be voting 3-6 months with the hope it’s 6 months. Vote here
