I`m still not convinced, and that is not a "i hate apple" reason, i watched an online review for some Motorola tablet running Android honeycomb a few days back and i still thought "mehhh" i would rather have my small laptop.

To be honest, i reckon somebody should just make a touch screen fresnel lens for phones to kill two birds with one stone

Want a bigger screen? chuck the £1.99 fresnel on it, jobs a gooden

Classic Apple hatred.

Didn't Motorola make a phone that turned into the guts of a laptop? I'd love an iPad that had a slot for an iPhone.

Why ? Becuase I think a school spending £500 of taxpayer money on a toy is a pointless waste ?

Entry iPad is £329+VAT retail and with volume and education discount the school will be paying less than that.

Its a tablet computer not a toy

Stick your head in the sand if you like, Apple are showing Microsoft users the future right now.

LOL, Not sure you are the most wel balanced person to make decisions like that. Rather like putting Henry Ford in charge of company car selection.
