Great idea for those who have an ipad, but do they honestly expect schools to buy an ipad for each of their pupils? Or is it the pupils who will be buying them? Besides, I cant imagine schools allowing pupils to bring ipads into class as they could easily just be on the internet or playing games during class, unless they have a timed lock on using other apps or something..? Anyway, I want to see a video!

with the cost of text books i wouldn't be suprised if its cheaper to buy all the students a cheap tablet and getting books in digital form. If grammer-highschool text books are anything like college a tablet would be far cheaper.

Oh, i just saw the video. Are textbooks really $60-100 in America? That is a ridiculous price, they are about £10 here in the uk! Infact, schools probably wouldnt even have to pay for them, because once they allow pupils to bring ipads to school it will become a craze and everyone will want to buy one. The only thing apple have to overcome is actually pesuading schools to allow their students to bring ipads to school.

For college, yes. A single textbook can range from $50(unlikely) up to $200 or more. Usually around 100-150 though. I used to spend almost 500 a quarter on books. It was a joke.
