In order to release its games on a wide array of mobile platforms, BBC Worldwide has invested an undisclosed sum in the California-based tech company Spaceport.io, which offers tools to help developers launch games via HTML5.

OLPC XO 3.0

This is a good article that goes over the merits of the upcoming OLPC tablet, to debut in the Q4 of 20012.

It will also have a shipping price of 100 USD, a fraction of the cost of an iPad. It is also built to be kid friendly, and can run either Linux Sugar or Android OS. I'd like to learn more about what kind of Flash build it could handle, but this seems like a great affordable device that can be introduced in the communities we want our content to be distibuted:
