@hyper_linda@aral@eyebeams why doesn't codeclub work on iPad? Flash? exe? -
@jocphone (Although it can be done, how many devs do you know that use an iPad as their primary machine?) +@hyper_linda@eyebeams

@aral Wondering if this falls back on your thoughts on design of open systems not being on par?…@hyper_linda@CodeClub@eyebeams -
@MarkSkinner_ Exactly. We desperately need a new breed of design-led open source devices/platforms. +@hyper_linda@CodeClub@eyebeams -
@aral Wondering what devices/platforms you feel are the most important with this -
@MarkSkinner_@aral I spent several years helping with http://opensourceschools.org.uk/ but there was no middle tier market to make happen in education
