Comment Having to carry two devices (Score 1) 340
Android development is accessible to anyone with a computer
Is an Android device "a computer" in this sense? Either way, it still doesn't matter because AIDE allows for programming directly on an Android tablet, provided that the Android 4.3 update didn't disable your keyboard. (The workaround works only on rooted devices.) On the other hand, each student would have to carry both an iPad and an Android tablet: an iPad to read the iPad-exclusive textbooks on which the district has standardized and an Android device for programming.
