(I'm all for computers and progress) (Just wish they go for Windows ones as that is what they will get when they hit the work force.) Actually with the arrival of BYOD that is no longer the case. Now days a lot of businesses are adjusting to cater for what ever device their staff bring into work so that could be iPhone/ iPad, Android or Windows tablet. |

And thats how it should be as well, in the real world people have different devices,so it shouldn't be "locked into" one brand,no matter what it is. |

That's great in theory, but love it or hate it, the walled garden concept seems to have the right amount of secret sauce to be a winner. |

| 1367129 | 2014-02-10 03:29:00 | Is apple about to loose the war to Samsung ?The winner for the most revenue earned from mobile phone sales goes to Apple. The current leader for mobile phone market share is currently Samsung. The winner for the legal battle for stealing intellectual property is still being fort in the courts although Samsung has been found guilty of infringing on Apples IP so they owe them about 900 million US, they are just trying every technique in the book to avoid paying up. To answer the original question.. Just pick the answer that you like the most. |

| 1367130 | 2014-02-14 01:09:00 | My sisters school uses Google education. The tablets costs the parents $5 a month to use. (I think there is a $100 upfront payment). The kids log in to complete any lessons that the teacher has given them. The teachers can track the students progress and work one on one with them. Google has worked really well for their school. | wmoore (6009) | ||
