Apple's VP of Education, John Couch (R) is trying to close a $4.5 billion Apple iPad deal |
On December 14th, the Apple iPhone 5 was launched in Turkey. That came less than two-weeks after the iTunes Music Store was released in the country. South Africa and Russia were some of the 55 other countries that received the iTunes update. Forty-two of the countries will let users buy movies and videos from iTunes, including Turkey. And instead of being limited to U.S.artists, iTunes will also offer music from local artists as well.

Exactly....they dont have money at all but they have money for iPads = obvious corruption.....Apple starts the same bribing way like Microsoft...

There are both good and bad point on getting iPad for education. Good is it a proven educational tools. The bad point is 4.5 billons is a lot of money not a single cent is use to help the local businesses.
Their government should use the money to build their own platform and eco system much like what Amazon had done.

well said blackice. why can they compete like in the old days anymore instead of bribing the governments? this may seem like a good thing but coming from a corporate like apple,,, i don't think so... they are as corrupted as the u s government. and if they are so american like the people who buy their products think they are... then how come apple doesn't do that here?let people choose the natural way...but then again these are desperate moves that they're doing since they're not contributing to this industry anymore...might as well get into politics.

you know nothing about the economy yet you think you do and accuse others. there is no right or wrong no black or white there is only grey. the point is not that they support apple that they invest in their future that is their kids so they can further their nation. i bet if the had bought 15million android tablets you would rally behind them like a cult. learn to expand your train of thought young grasshopper

Govt of India is spending on Android Tabs that comes at < $60. I think That's far less than even the Profits that apple would want on each tablet.

This is the future :)
Too bad it's Apple, lol.
But in all fairness, it still has better tablet apps, especially for this purpose.
And that's probably why they were picked

Ive used one for a text book and ive got to say ipads work really well for books. And they are easy to set up and use for beginners. Im assuming thats why they went with apple. The android platform can be a bit confusing to a newcomer and the point is to make learning easier not harder

Ugh, iPad is such a useless piece of crap for sutidents. A notebook/textbook replacement with no pen is useless. And way to go forcing the walled prison iOS on 15 million students.
