Apple’s iPad is proving popular in educational markets as a supplementary slate to desktop computers, according to Piper Jaffray. Android tablets, not so much. Numerous case studies and anecdotal evidence tell the tale of Apple’s iPad as a boon for e-commerce and even in some select business markets. Law firm Prosskauer Rose, for example, issued 500 iPad 2s to its attorneys, who use them to send and receive email messages and share contracts with clients. Now evidence of the iPad’s viability in the education market is beginning to emerge, according to Piper Jaffray’s Gene Munster. The analyst found that all 25 technology directors in U.S. school districts he polled were testing or actually rolling out iPads for users in schools. Conversely, no respondents indicated that they are testing or deploying Android tablets.
