Okay, I don't want to start a fight!
But I am going to draw an Apple / Microsoft comparison here so if you're the sort of person who's head is likely to explode as a result, taking this post down the same road as these guys, then look away now!
Microsoft have started producing some ads that compare Windows 8 tablets to the iPad. Some of the ads are a little tongue-in-cheek, and some are bizarre (unless there's a cultural thing I don't get). But this simple one actually cuts through to a couple of truths that speak to why we and our teachers couldn't bring ourselves to adopt the iPad as a platform. There's more to it than just these few features (it's quite a complex issue actually). But these are some of the things people struggle with initially when considering an iPad anywhere where they might need to do work, and these are some of the stumbling blocks our iPad trial kept on hitting. So, here it is, make of it what you will:

... Oh, and there's a third side to this comparison, which is Android tablets. That's another similarly complicated thing altogether. All I'll say on that is, always remember it's at least a three-horse race! ;)
