On one hand it makes sense that iPad is easiest to standardize for classroom use where multiple hands will be handling it during day.

On the other hand, there are plenty of cheap Android tablets <$100. Anecdotally, my 8 year old niece has had one for a year, a cheap no name dual core 7inch 1280x720 model that cost 60 Euros. Sure, the screen has cracked a bit and the hdmi out is not working properly, but she is still happily using the tablet.

For some reason I keep thinking of that Onion video , should unemployed be buying new iPads: http://www.theonion.com/video/in-the-know-should-the-nations...

It just seems incredibly limiting to focus on IOS.
