Schools aren’t going to buy both a tablet AND a computer. The computer form factor is the one, of the two, to get if you only get one. Thus the chrome book is thriving.
Ergo....the tablet form factor itself is not being widely adopted. iPads are expensive. Android tablets are not. Apple has developed some terrific software for schools. I haven’t heard of anything close for Android tablets.
Folks could add a keyboard to an Android tablet and hit Chromebook prices and be useful in computer mode or book/tablet mode. But there is no margin on the type of cheap Android tablets for anybody to try to make a business doing so.
This is my analysis of why the tablet itself isn’t succeeding that much in schools and thus why adding a color eInk screen isn’t going to change a single thing about the plight of tablets in schools.
