yes, smartphones : ALL of them

unknown (esteem : rather few of them)

even fewer than above.

in the classroom there is no really USABLE computer, not 
even the only one provided to teachers to manage pure 
bureocracy. That's why the ones that uses ITC, use BYOD 
strategy (I use G4 for my connection at school, school 
bandwidth is unreliable, and there are also arbitrary 
blacklist that makes useless the small one avail.)

I don't know much the plans of smartphones (as I don't own one)

nope. No laptops avail.

this assumes absolute correctness, altruism and timely 
commitment. I'm afraid none of above holds

No one would be intrested to hold the full set.
Just the few related to last minute topic I guess.

I'll ask some library user to assess this. I admit I had 
never thought about this.

well, yes, but not mine. I just spent time and effort. No 
one is obliged to download. The service is offered "as is" :)

the "project" (not actually a project) is in the state 
DISCONTINUED. But still I'm trying to put at use the 
existing material, if an inexpensive way can be found.
Inexpensive for me at least.
I'd like to barely enable the download (free of charge, as 
I'm not granted any support of any kind, not even the 
slightest appreciation, nothing at all).
After that, if no one is willing to use the files, this is 
not really a problem of mine.
I love freedom above all.
