Ipad vs the rest?Ipad Android et al
No USB- no add on space Mini/micro USB/HDMI
Loooooong battery life Eish short man!
No local wifi hotspot (but I do have a work around)
Seamless wifi hotspot
No file control. Apps control files
File control and management

Why Android tablets and not iPad or dedicated eReaders?
Affordable long-term total cost of ownership (TCO) in terms of repairs, replacement parts, cost of hardware, cost of accessories, etc;
Availability of off-the-shelf, child-friendly, ruggedised devices; Since it is open source, it enables a high level of customisation (e.g.
preloading educational apps, device tracking, customised software, version control, custom configuration of devices per phase/learner/teacher, etc);
Support for open standards (e.g. ePub); Options to create a South African Educational AppStore, without
having to go via a proprietary appstore; Ability to side-load content and apps (e.g. via an SD card); Support for removable/expandable storage which is critical for
content dissemination in low/no connectivity environments; Ability to tightly control specifications of devices in order to save
costs; Possibility of lock-in is minimal.

Why android?
