Nokia today released their N900 in the United States. Nokia is positioning the device as a computer in your pocket. Below is a quote from the press release:

 "Consumers from every segment of the population are looking for more out of their mobile device - more power, more ability, more connectivity. The Nokia N900 ushers in a new era with a very powerful mobile computer," said Alessandro Lamanna, Vice President, Retail Sales, Nokia.

As I have stated in many different posts on this blog, mobile devices will only be gaining in popularity and in computing power. The Nokia N900 is another step in that direction. As features and computing power increase in mobile devices and costs are driven down by competition, more of these devices will be showing up at schools. Now is the time to prepare for their arrival.
