Many have to find a way to balance school and a career as well as making sure that family obligations and scholastic responsibilities are both met. With all that to deal with the last thing most students want to worry about is carrying around books. Thankfully modern technology has addressed this issue with the E-Reader.

    Understanding the Target Audience for the Apple Ipad

    Currently you have an eReader market heavily dominated by Amazon’s Kindle. The Kindle is a solid performer and everyone I know who owns one is very happy with their purchase. However, at the end of the day the Kindle is a one-dimensional device with limited format support and in my opinion competes in a micro niche. The distinct advantage the Amazon Kindle has over the Apple iPad is the data subscription fee. Paying $15/month for 250MB of data or $30/month for Unlimited 3G data is an attractive revenue stream for Apple, but a $180 to $360/year subscription I could live without. What makes the iPad model attractive is the option for a WiFi-only unit or if I choose to purchase the WiFi/3G model I can use data services on a monthly basis without a contract. The versatility, processing power and high-resolution screen make the iPad a no brainer for replacing all eReaders on the market.…

    Apple Ipad Release

    The much anticipated Apple iPad was released today to lines of eager customers. The iPad was announced in January and hype has been up since. The iPad boasts features such as portability, e-book integration, as well as gaming capabilities. Apple executives have described the on-screen touch keyboard as easy to use; however, critics, especially bloggers, say it is not good for extensive typing projects. Customers purchasing the iPad have reasons that include everything from excitement over the e-reader features to a loyalty to the Apple brand. Some customers even report that they have little knowledge of the device but are purchasing it based on the brand and hype. One customer says that he doesn’t know what he will do with it but that he “can 't figure out how to use it if I don 't have one." The iPad weighs in at about 1.5 pounds and has a 9.7 inch screen. It currently connects to the internet solely via Wi-fi but later in April, there are plans to release a version that allows users to connect via AT&T’s 3g network. The iPad already has an extensive application availability and works similar to the iPhone and iPod touch, only with a lack of calling capability. The iPad is about 3 times the size of an iPhone and is still smaller than competing netbooks but, slightly larger than its e-reader competition the Kindle. Another feature similar to the iPhone is the iPad’s lack of a physical keyboard and integration of an accelerometer, which allows gamers to tilt the device to control what 's happening on the screen.…

    Tablets vs. Textbooks

    Technology is undeniably becoming more popular in schools and is facilitating students in their pursuit to learn in many ways. Primarily tablets are more efficient, reducing the time needed to reach the material and thereby allowing the students to gather and learn information at a faster pace. Tablets can also store large amounts of information, including quizzes, tests, textbooks and other files thus removing the need for physical storage of these materials. This conserves money while preserving the environment; and according to “nomoreschoolbooks.webs.com”, “over six million trees a year are cut down for school paper” costing “thirty to fifty thousand dollars a year per school” as stated in “www.edutopia.org”. Initially the print textbook may seem to be the more cost-effective choice as the average tablet costs around three hundred and eighty six dollars according to “www.tomshardware.com”. But because electronic textbooks cost fifty to sixty percent less than print textbooks, as the students add more documents and data onto their tablet they will actually be saving money. Support for tablets is increasing, particularly in high levels of government including the secretary of education, Arne Duncan and the federal communications chair, Julius Genachowski who are arguing that school publishers should “switch to digital textbooks within five years to foster interactive education, save money on books and ensure classrooms in the U.S. up-to-date content”.
