A student-proof tablet. Sturdy, resistant, but able to accompany him in the training course. It was launched today by Intel, which thus wants to gain leadership in a market that promises to be expanding. It's called StudyBook and is designed in several languages for each country where the product will be launched. But not only. To make the student feel "at home", the software will present some typical features of the country.
The device is made of sturdy plastic, resistant to water and dust, surrounded by a cushioning system that makes it resistant to shocks. The tablet is even equipped with a camera which, if necessary, can become a microscope, as anticipated by Wall Street Journal. Starting price $200, and Intel hopes it won't rise in such a way as to be attractive to schools.
But it's not the first low-cost tablet. In October, the Indian government, together with the Canadian developer DataWind, created an Android tablet, which will cost only 60 dollars, 35 after the contributions promised by the state.
But beware of Apple. In fact, the Cupertino company intends to enter this new market. It recently announced the creation of iBook2, a series of interactive books designed specifically for schools.
