  1. http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2012/03/06/apples-new-ipad-what-to-expect/ - This article details that new ipad 3's will go on sale March 16th, and what new features each of these will have.

    1. Kevin, I think we are found out the hard way that it is not the "iPad 3" but "the NEW iPad." So much hype for just a bit more camera resolution. And it is a bit heavier than the iPad 2. And the cases for the iPad 2 don't fit the "NEW" iPad. The jury is still out.

    2. I agree! Now it's time to narrow it down to the best option for all of our diverse learners!

  3. Here is a great overview of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. I have the original 10.1, and an Acer Iconia A500 tablet. Love both of them, really portable and customization. Multi-tasking on an Android device beats Apple hands down. Plus the open sourced Android software makes the ability to run a custom operating system is invaluable.
