Ah - thanks Gavin<br> <br>Hadn't realised it was the Android version - we had some people here a few months back using the Windows Lenovo tablets and talking about the beta Windows 8 version, with Metro apps through a Windows Store. Hadn't seen anything other than concept diagrams, so I thought you may have access to a more recent release.<br>
<br>Thanks for this - much appreciated.<br>Ken<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Nov 10, 2011 at 9:00 PM, Gavin Ferrier <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ferrier.gavin.r@edumail.vic.gov.au">ferrier.gavin.r@edumail.vic.gov.au</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div>All of the usual Android apps are available. I do know that it comes with a docs app that has an equivalent to word, powerpoint and excel.

</div></div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; color: black;">Have you looked at the Lenovo Tablets?????<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10.5pt; color: black;"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; color: black;">Even though I am a Mac user, I think they will work better in the classroom. They have gorilla glass which is extremely strong and scratch resistant. Also, Lenovo
will image them with your apps before they arrive. They will also do a 3 year drop and throw type of warranty on them for the same price as the laptop warranty. Lats of all, you can set up a school app store through Lenovo, so that students can all download
the apps that you have purchased as a school.<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; color: black;"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; color: black;">Check it out, I know I was impressed, and I love my iPad, and have done a trial at our school.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
