Moinmoin to all of you,

the federal state of Niedersachsen/Germany has started a tablet project 
in and for schools.
Soon there will be an official invitation(German: Ausschreibung), where 
tablet-providers, the administration and schools come together and enter 
into contracts. The discussion about interactive elearning-media and 
schoolbooks is focussed very much on Apple with the Ipad. In this 
mailing list I heard the first time of the 'Spark-tablet'. I haven't 
found out whether this is - beside the software development of Plasma 
Active - a community or a commercial project.
I think it could be a real chance for the Spark-tablet and KDE 
Plasma-Active - depending on the developmental stage. I tried to present 
the Wetab (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WeTab) with KDE PA2 in our 
media-consultant-community, but this hardware is pretty weak and PA2 
didn't have a working office-suite.
 From what I understand, the Spark Tablet is presented at Cebit 2012.
Perhaps KDE e.V. or someone else could try to join the negotiations 
(German: Ausschreibungsverfahren) or at least present this machine to 
offer an alternative to Apple, M$ and Android-tablets.
What do you think?

Daniel
