Would this work with T-Mobile's $39.99 Total Internet plan?
If so - I would consider carrying an N1 around for web access, and still hold on to my $0.10-per-minute prepaid phone for the times that I need voice. VOIP would be another option for voice, if latency is not too bad.
I have very fond memories of learning to program in True BASIC in high school. It's a logical step up from the TI-83 BASIC that I assume any mathematically inclined high-school student is familiar with these days, and it provides a straightforward IDE to get students up and running in minutes. Most importantly, perhaps, it provides an intuitive library for plotting various lines and shapes and capturing user input, which means you can create games relatively easily (essential for sparking the imagination of a 15 year-old).
Sure, True BASIC was pretty outdated even 10 years ago when I was learning. But to the student who is just beginning, the programs that they write will feel a lot more powerful than the console-only apps they would start with in C++ or Java.

You see it as a byline on a newspaper but those stories are just something to yawn at these days.
I don't think that word means what you think it does.
