5 Reasons iBooks 2 Naysayers Are Wrong

Complaint No. 2: iPads are too expensive (and fragile) for cash-strapped school districts.

At a time that schools continue to cut costs, the last thing they would seem to have funds for would be hundreds or thousands of iPads. Today, the iPad is quite expensive, at $499, but I expect Apple to keep the iPad 2 around and drop the price by at least $100. That’s still pricey, but it will certainly help get iBooks textbooks into more hands. And over time I’m sure Apple will debut an even lower-cost iPad to compete with the likes of the Amazon Kindle Fire .

For those school districts that are going to make a significant investment in technology over the next few years, where do you think they should put their money, in laptops or in the iPad, which has a more engaging, multitouch interface? Today’s kids don’t need physical keyboards . As to whether iPads are too brittle for kids to handle, a good protective case could go a long way toward making it easier for schools to protect their investments—and to make it easier to share the tablets among multiple students in those schools that can’t afford a 1:1 ratio.
