the schools have to supply everyone with an ipad and instead of using paper you use the ipadhospital

It's just a giant square-shaped iPhone. It's the definition of pointless, if you ask me...

1) My school is way too poor to afford "an" iPad

2)Ghetto kids would steal and destroy them (California)

3) Paper is FTW

I can just see this as a future facebook group, "We used paper in school." I feel old.

Overly sized iPhone/Mini Mac

I think this comment on gamespot's article sums it up quite nicely:

seriously. There is no purpose to this thing. It can't replace your laptop because the OS is waaaay to restricted and it doesn't have a webcam or multitasking, it can't replace your iPod because it's too big for your pocket, and it can't replace your iPhone because...it's not a phone. There's really no room for it in anyone's pocket, especially without any kind of camera.

It does? :?

****, now I must get one. Damn you Steve Jobs! :x

Would anyone think I'm weird if I said the iPad would be cool if I had one next to me in the bathroom???

:D

The government is already giving out crappy laptops, why should they give out crappy iPads as well?

What's funny is that the government has put all these security measures to block things like Messenger and games being installed, but the students already know how to break it before the laptops are even releaseddaqua_99

Paper won't be replaced for at least another 20 years

witth no physical KB, no hand writing recognition, no real OS(thus say goodbye to all the educational apps), no USB port and no cemera....well..without all this I don't see how it could be used for schools all that muich
