In the latest <i>Make Your Own Sugar Activities!</i> we'll have chapters on making Activities using HTML 5. You can put HTML 5 inside a simple Python Activity wrapper using WebKit. You could take the same HTML 5 and create an Android app using Phone Gap. So you could have a certain number of Activities that run on both platforms.</blockquote>

Can the Sugar Activities be ported to Android or is it back to the beginning? Would it be better to concentrate on just producing quality educational Activities, leaving the desktop unaltered on the tablet?<br></div></div>
