Previously I did a post as well as a video introducing the Apple Configurator. Today we are going to walkthrough setting up the devices for the first time in a cart situation in which you do not have to activate all of the individual devices. You can think of this like “imaging” the devices.

When I first bought my original iPad, I never thought once about getting a stylus. It didn't really seem necessary, and why should it? Our fingers are the intended tool to use here, right?

I, like many others, was unsure how strong demand would be for media tablets, the form factor that Apple spawned when it launched the original iPad in 2010. We asked you, What Is The Future For Tablets? We had scores of responses, most being very positive about tablets and how they will shape the future of computing. But not all….some suggested tablets will always be for consumption, with desktops and laptops reserved for creation. Some also think tablets are nothing more than a “passing fad,” a “fashion statement,” a “status icon,” and “toys.”

Apple is really good at just putting stuff out there and not telling anyone about it. This is the tool we have been waiting for since the iPad was released. This tool seems very intuitive and I cannot wait to play with it this weekend. Unfortuneatly right now the tool is Mac only.

It’s hard to talk about the future these days without talking about apps. Back in 2008, our mobile phones were primarily for making calls and sending and receiving text messages. Now, they’re for tweeting, checking Facebook, playing Angry Birds, and utilizing apps that tell us when the next bus is coming, where the new Asian fusion restaurant in our neighborhood is, and allowing us to read the next new bestseller. They have also infiltrated our grocery store experiences, helping us when we’re choosing what types of foods to eat. Here are a few examples of apps that are already available to improve shopping and eating experiences and a couple that are coming soon.

It only seems like the other day that we were anxiously awaiting the delivery of 100 iPad 2s, hoping that the various problems that befell their supply wouldn’t mean us starting the year without. We’d very much promoted our new IB programme with innovative ways of teaching and learning through the iPad, and it was touch and go as to whether we’d get them at all in time.
