That's fine for adding activities but doesn't allow you to remove an
activity or update to a new version

I mean that the games have a timer and a score. Even better would be
games where kids could measure their progress in an activity versus
other kids in the mesh. 

Educational games for English - ones that teach English grammar,
vocabulary, and reading comprehension. We have many in the E-Paati
suite.

Pictures take up the most space and I am not sure if there is a facility
to archive them to the XS and access them later

I didn't take detailed notes on this during the teacher training. I will
try to get you more detail over the next couple weeks. I need to go
update the firmware on 100 XO's right now.
