Also, professors and authors who might not normally be able to get their texts published have an amazingly flexible opening to get their stuff together. Example: one of my mechanical engineering classes had a nice big text book, then we had a printed text that was written by the professor, which fixed many of the text's issues and also showed us better ways to calculate and retain some of the data. The prof would have loved to have his own version of the text, but hadn't gotten through the publishing juggernaut to get it done yet. With electronic versions, he could have provided us his early beta copy and we would have been happy as clams (half the weight to carry around).]]>Mar 19th 2010 9:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/marvell-pitches-99-moby-tablet-as-textbook-alternative/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/marvell-pitches-99-moby-tablet-as-textbook-alternative/Mar 19th 2010 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/marvell-pitches-99-moby-tablet-as-textbook-alternative/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/marvell-pitches-99-moby-tablet-as-textbook-alternative/Mar 19th 2010 2:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/marvell-pitches-99-moby-tablet-as-textbook-alternative/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/marvell-pitches-99-moby-tablet-as-textbook-alternative/I think he's just juiced up on coffee right now in the early hours.]]>Mar 19th 2010 2:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/marvell-pitches-99-moby-tablet-as-textbook-alternative/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/marvell-pitches-99-moby-tablet-as-textbook-alternative/Mar 19th 2010 3:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/marvell-pitches-99-moby-tablet-as-textbook-alternative/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/marvell-pitches-99-moby-tablet-as-textbook-alternative/Mar 19th 2010 3:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/marvell-pitches-99-moby-tablet-as-textbook-alternative/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/marvell-pitches-99-moby-tablet-as-textbook-alternative/Agreed. iDick would be an excellent the input device for this iMoby :P]]>Mar 19th 2010 3:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/marvell-pitches-99-moby-tablet-as-textbook-alternative/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/marvell-pitches-99-moby-tablet-as-textbook-alternative/Mar 19th 2010 3:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/marvell-pitches-99-moby-tablet-as-textbook-alternative/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/marvell-pitches-99-moby-tablet-as-textbook-alternative/Mar 19th 2010 3:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/marvell-pitches-99-moby-tablet-as-textbook-alternative/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/marvell-pitches-99-moby-tablet-as-textbook-alternative/Mar 19th 2010 3:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/marvell-pitches-99-moby-tablet-as-textbook-alternative/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/marvell-pitches-99-moby-tablet-as-textbook-alternative/Maybe it's not a touchscreen.
