I just purchased a HTC Droid. We actually do make purchases with an eye toward exploring the potential of such devices. I finally reached the end of my two-year commitment for my Blackberry 8330. It was a great “text” phone, but I think more is now required (I do know other Blackberry apps are available, but I found them quite clunky). We cannot get an iPhone in North Dakota. I now am thinking that options are a good thing. The openness of the Droid appeals to me. I have yet to explore “openness” – a technique for taking screen captures is likely to be my first effort.
I appreciate the interest in whether these are devices to learn with. I think so, but I also appreciate the investment I have in the data plan that allows me to explore and interact. The price point still has a long way to go before such devices will be practical for all.
