Comment Issues with support (Score 1) 293

As someone who supports devices like these in AU Schools, they're a PIA. Unless content is coming out as apps with discrete logins, the lack of the ability to log a user onto the unit (and accordingly logoff) makes them a pain when they're being used as a shared device (eg a trolley full of ipad's wheeled into a classroom for a lesson). It really seems to be the possibility of what this might achieve as opposed to anything it's actually doing today that's driving these purchases. Give it a year or so when the content is available and the device is properly integrated into the curriculum then I might have a different opinion, until then, they're still toys. Great for home, not good for school.
