They should start selling TI calculators and android cell phones by that logic.

apparently the ipad is a learning tool.never seen or used one myself but ive seen articles in the local newspaper saying they are using them in schools for children as young as 4 to help them learn to read & write.back in the days when i was a youngster it was my parents teaching me to read and write without all this fancy technology.

Yep and while the kids are running some "learning" app on the iPad the teacher is over in the corner playing Angry Birds instead of doing her job to teach.

Sometimes technology is a crutch and old school methods are best.
