The pilot follows work undertaken by JISC Collections early in 2012, when a number of interactive educational software and games suppliers, as well as representatives of FE colleges, were interviewed to gauge the current extent and use of such software and online resources by the colleges.

Bryan Alexander liked it

A Pakistani security official speaking on the condition of anonymity told Fox News that these games are part of psychological warfare.

Well there's always Android - I really like my Nexus 7 a lot; take it everywhere. And I've found downloading bits directly from the web for Android to be not too bothersome (the Humble Bundle folks have a workable system going).

I thought it was, though I can't find any particular article attesting to that fact (maybe the respective Wikipedia pages would give a clue). But I also thought that it was not possible to install an app on an iOS device without a jailbroken phone - on Android if you have the .pks or whatever-type file on the web somewhere, you can install it, even on the standard version of Android.

Sounds like a potential Play/Android advantage. Then there's the Web.

Yes, and especially since tablets are becoming more common, tools formatted for the web don't have to be squished onto a smartphone screen as much as they once might have been.

Good point. Perhaps we'll see phones hew to apps, and tablets cleave to the Web.
