Farbood(of Grockit fame) believes the iPad will revolutionize learning. HP says they could've released the Slate 2years ago at a price of $1500. Today, it's about $500. How much will it be tomorrow?? And how much will it change e-learning??
A LOT!! I totally expect tablet prices to fall to the level of cell-phones, even if its with a 1yr contract. The Dell Mini is a great example of the tablet of the future. part-tablet part-phone, it's going to change a lot of things. Sure, it appears cumbersome now, but give it time. Old habits are always a little hard to change.
What about when multi-tasking comes? Imagine sitting in your car/train/bus on your way home or to work, with head-phones and a _G connection. Chat with your friends as you'll do a "social-prep" or as we called it in India-- "Group Study", attend the same class together, give the same test (play Grockit :D ), white-board with friends,....
The possibilities are endless. And i'm very excited about the future!
