Apple Inc.'s iPad isn't having an easy time during college admissions
season.
The tablet, lauded by many as the next wave in education technology, is
having difficulty being accepted at George Washington University and
Princeton University because of network stability issues. Cornell
University also says it is seeing connectivity problems with the device
and is concerned about bandwidth overload.
Such issues could be a blow to Apple, which has gone after the higher
education market by highlighting the iPad's portability and availability
of electronic books. But students may not be willing to pay $499or more,
depending on the type of iPadif they still need a desktop or laptop
computer to check course assignments or email. Some higher education
insiders also worry there isn't enough educational content available via
the iBookstore application to eliminate expensive physical textbooks.
George Washington said earlier this month its wireless network's security
features don't support the iPador iPhone and iPod Touch, for that matter.
Princeton on Wednesday said it has proactively blocked about 20% of the
devices from its network after noticing malfunctions that can affect the
entire school's computer system. Princeton is working with Apple to
resolve the issue, according to a statement on the school's Web site.
