[elearning] Ipads ... the nitty gritty

[Gavin Ferrier]

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. It also runs
flash which can come in handy.

I tried one from Network Neighborhood. Andrew Collins there has been
spending a fair bit of time working on them. Phone him if you have questions
about the apps store etc.

Thanks Suzanne 

Can we get an idea of the apps available for the Lenovo, compared to the
Apple collection?
