They will remain in the competition, they just have both high and low situation... but they will stay.. PC only holds almost every company as primary platform of technology. Being a ipad case deisgner for http://www.kekacase.com/, we are individually doing stuff for Apple product, but we are using PC base devices.

I love to agree, after all many schools from different side in the US are using iPad as their primary resources of education. but what about those kids that are studying from remote places, will they be able to cope? My son is studying in the city, in their class they almost not using any traditional way of learning, but they are more on digital. They also use ipad, I even bought him stand and keyboard for his gadget, and luckily I also got free custom phone cases for my iphone too.. so I always told him that he knows more on technology, but I always teach him to be just as normal kids. As much as possible I don't want him to use iPad in their school, but its their protocol of advance learning.
