PSP's Taking Place of Textbooks

This link will take you right to the article. British Schools are now using the handheld playstations to provide notes, audio and video clips, along with textbooks on this small piece of technology.
Although there are mixed feelings on it, I thought it would be interesting just to use as a tool in the classroom, Possibly just have enough available to only keep at school, to minimize theft, and gaming instead of classroom work.
Some of the teachers also thought that these would be good for slower students who may need more than just a book in front of them. The PSPs could provide them with more information on a topic.
