they have overlooked less costly options, like smartphones that offer similar benefits at a fraction of the iPad’s base cost of about $500

  Ok, I'm all for the discussion of "smarphones" but the reality is you can't read for an extended time on a "smartphone." Again it is those physical characteristics that make the iPad so powerful. It is the "just right" size.

Educators also laud the iPad’s physical attributes, including its large touch screen (about 9.7 inches) and flat design, which allows students to maintain eye contact with their teachers. And students like its light weight, which offers a relief from the heavy books that weigh down their backpacks.

  Physical Attributes are a big deal. I have not thought much in this regard to "looking at a computer screen" and "looking at an iPad" and how that would change the way we use computers in the classroom.
