hehe... teacher already have them. I work at a university for the college of education. We have several grants out that have purchased classroom sets of pocket pcs and several faculty in the building that use them. We are partnered with many area schools that are also using pocket pcs. They are way cheaper than laptops and there is some really cool software out there for managing the classroom and even for use in the classroom. Teachers use them to hand out papers electronically, students read books on them, teachers keep their roll and grades on them. We have practicing teachers that use them for data collection. We just bought 5 more dells for our student teacher supervisors/evaluators to fill out forms and "sync" the data back to us. They even use the built in camera instead of carrying around a seperate camera now! (ipaq 3700)
Pocket pcs have been in education for quite some time now.
Not to sound vain or anything but most of the stuff we have done here with pocket pc is because of me. And people like all you guys. I am constantly using my ppc at work for everything. When the faculty/staff/administrators ask what i'm doing i'm more than happy to give them a demo.  Or when i see some one doing something that would be easier done on a pocket pc i sugest it to them. Also since i am the tech guy i get to advise on all the tech aspects of projects and grants. If a pocket pc fits the bill i am not afraid to sugest it.  And they are cheaper in many cases and the admins love cheaper. :twisted:
Just doing my part to spread the pocket pc love.
