Editorial: Bloomberg spins Apple's Event as a desperate, blind stab for cheap iPads in edu...
wizard69 said:Well i see DED is back to wasting bandwidth with a ton of crap that doesnt even touch upon Apples real problems in efucation. The number one issue with iPads is the lack of a keyboard which makes anything other than tribial text entry a psin.
The second issue with iPad is pricing. Apple in its ecessive greed raised the price on the whole line somehow completely mis understanding what people expect from the electronics industry!! That is people in general, schools simply dont have the luxury of paying what ever Apple wants.
In the end is Apple wants education they need to ship a laptop form device. That device should be ARM based and hopefully running on a powerful OS like Mac OS. Obviously needs change with grade levels but in the end students and schools need flexibility. Hell iPad doesnt even have a clean easily accessible USB port to make a science class interesting.
Perhaps the education event is a cloud play. But Apple needs to get better at that (admitting that they've made great progress in that respect).
