Is there a reason you are not considering Kindles from Amazon? &nbsp;I have a Kindle Fire and an iPad.<br />
I wind up using the Kindle more because it is smaller and easier to carry.<br />
Reading is joy. &nbsp;There are lots of apps.<br />

There is significant infrastructure and support:<br />

Hi all,<br />
<br />
I am trying to put together a proposal for a local school. &nbsp;They want to use Android tablets for their pupils. &nbsp;That in itself is easy but obviously key considerations I'm trying to resolve are:<br />
&nbsp;- Can students authenticate on a windows domain to access their network folder to save their work? <br />
&nbsp;- Can anyone recommend a tool to bulk manage Android tablets? &nbsp;(push an app on to all, brick device on theft, etc).<br />
&nbsp;- How easy is printing from an Android to a network printer?<br />
<br />
I'm hoping to use Server 2012 R2 running the Active Directory with &nbsp;Samsung Galaxy Tabs or Google Nexus tablets.<br />

Hi all,

I am trying to put together a proposal for a local school.  They want to use Android tablets for their pupils.  That in itself is easy but obviously key considerations I'm trying to resolve are:
 - Can students authenticate on a windows domain to access their network folder to save their work? 
 - Can anyone recommend a tool to bulk manage Android tablets?  (push an app on to all, brick device on theft, etc).
 - How easy is printing from an Android to a network printer?

I'm hoping to use Server 2012 R2 running the Active Directory with  Samsung Galaxy Tabs or Google Nexus tablets.

Android Tablets in School or Work Domain

Android is a mobile operating system developed by Google, based on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Android's user interface is based on direct manipulation, using touch gestures that loosely correspond to real-world actions, such as swiping, tapping and pinching, to manipulate on-screen objects, along with a virtual keyboard for text input. In addition to touchscreen devices, variants of Android are also used on notebooks, game consoles, digital cameras, televisions, automobiles and other electronics. Applications are usually developed in Java programming language using the Android software development kit (SDK), but other development environments are also available, including Delphi, Ruby and Visual Studio (using C++).

A miscellany is defined as a "collection of various pieces of writing by different authors", but it has come to mean something "Of items gathered or considered together of various types or from different sources" or "a collection or group composed of members or elements of different kinds". The word "miscellaneous" comes from the Latin word "miscere", meaning "to mix." You might have heard the expression "a mixed bag," which applies when you don't quite know what you're going to get. More commonly, a miscellaneous group is made up of an odd group of things that don't fit anywhere else.

Miscellaneous
