Wow!! This would be great for student's. Atleast they can access sites like http://www.extramarks.com from anywhere anytime and it will avoid them to skip their schools beacuse then studies will be more fun. I can't wait for the moment when i will see student's taking laptop's to school rather taking extra baggage of books on their shoulders.
