Technology seems to advance quicker than anything these days, and with rapid advancement comes fads of hip new devices — one being the tablet personal computer. With Apple’s introduction of the iPad in 2010, the technology market boomed with competitors trying to match Apple’s latest venture. Following Apple’s lead, tablets such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab and the Dell Streak 7 have emerged, and each device comes with its own unique quirks. And as tablets have become more popular for personal and business use, they have also gained popularity in the education system as learning aids.
