  14. What can make us unhappy?

  15. Ipadvs the rest? 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 File control and management No file control. Apps control files More apps but more pay More free apps

  16. Why android? • Why Android tablets and not iPador 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.
