When Roman children were being taught to read and write they were given a piece of slate and some chalk as their main educational tools, a practice that still carried on well into the 19th century. Before the release of Apple’s now ubiquitous iPad the technology pundits favorite name for it was the ‘iSlate.' Sadly, they hadn’t spotted back then what could soon become the iPad’s greatest strength, as an educational tool. When I first wrote about this, and the fact that the iPad could eventually... -

It’s not even being delivered yet but I bet most of you are already sick of hearing about the Apple iPad. If you are a CSP (Communications Service Provider) you are probably dreading the extra load it is going to put on your mobile network and how you won’t necessarily see an incremental increase in revenue.
