Heh, that is what Apple want, but in reality many folks cannot afford to fork up for 4+ x tablets for each household member, all of which will be due for replacement in 2 years.

I like the user concept you spoke about John, especially for setting up accounts for children on these devices.

Cheers
Darryl

I guess I have been socialized by the Verizon and iPad commercials to think all professional households with kids in school have individual ipads.
