One point the author makes that I'm hoping the Reading Rainbow team will address is the need for high-powered devices to consume this content. I don't think a million dollars is going to cover the subsidy needs to get this content into the hands of kids that could use it if it has to cover the cost of iPad-equivalent-performance devices to handle all the audiovisual bells and whistles that we see in the tablet app (and, to some extent, that made Reading Rainbow so much fun to watch on TV). So I have some concern there... But in general, a project betting against devices in the future---even in the hands of at-risk demographics---being more powerful is a project that is targeting wrong. So the concern may be overblown.
