[Marketing] Competitive Landscape: Andy Pad and Andy Pad Pro info and pricing revealed

[Sean DALY]

Very interesting thanks Christoph

What could drive this in K-8 edu is applications (i.e. a pack with
educational focus), but I don't know what is available for Android.

Touchscreen is very easy to learn & use for smaller kids, much simpler
than mouse & keyboard from what I've seen
