Is this something you set up specifically in iTunes Producer to limit it to the US only. Just curious.

The change to an iPad has been life-changing for me! I no longer have to risk my back carrying a heavy laptop and reference books.

(example: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks2bitesize/maths/shape_space/angles/play.shtml). For some projects a laptop is still the best tool - especially for creating and editing projects that require precision. I agree with Darren.

My students at my school have many educational programs that require flash. I would love to only buy iPads if I felt the same way, but unfortunately my district still relies on windows platform.
