The CR-48 was a device that wanted you to forget you were using a computer. The MobLab is a device that forces you to remember you are using a cryptographic protocol. One is a sedative; the other is an alarm clock. Yet, both share the same spirit of the "beta"—the willingness to ship hardware that is incomplete, to let the user be the QA engineer, and to define success not by sales, but by the adoption of the idea inside the box. The CR-48 taught us to live in the cloud. The MobLab taught us to survive outside of it. In the history of experimental hardware, neither will be remembered for their keyboards or screens; both will be remembered for asking the right question a decade too early.

The Google Cr-48 and MobLab Wyvern represent two different stages of the educational technology lifecycle.
