WEARABLES and a COOL GIFT I got one of the coolest gadgets in the mail yesterday. I wasn't allowed to touch it last night, as it was my wife's birthday. But, this morning I opened up the box and out came REX. This is a very SMALL device. In fact, it is the size of a PCMCIA card, about the size of a business card. It has a very clear LCD screen and can store and display your entire personal organizer. Want to synchronize it, just pop it into the slot on your laptop, or hook it up to a serial port holder, and in a few seconds it has your entire schedule, to do list and phone book. It is what is called a wearble. Developed by Franklin and Borland. This is a very cool gift. Available for about $129. Check it out at http://www.franklin.com/rex Implications for on-line learning are enormous. Imagine that you could download an entire course onto this chip based device and keep it in your pocket.
ANDERSON SOFT TEACH SOLD BY ITC Another sale within the training marketplace. ITC Learning Corp. (ITC) (NASDAQ ITCC) announced today that it has sold its Anderson Soft-Teach division (Anderson) to an investor group headed by Bette Tomaszewicz, a twenty year training industry veteran, for cash and debt totaling $4,950,000. This divestiture is part of a strategic move to position ITC as a broad-based distributor of an expanded line of multimedia training products acquired through evolving strategic alliances. The new products will include topics such as the art of customer service, leadership, financial skills, and others in the "soft skills" area, which make up 75% of the training market today. Complete press release available at http://www.businesswire.com/day1/539176.htm
