Thanks for the comment. You raise a good point that the unit cost of iPads is currently high. I would make a few observations. First, the cost is bound to come down over time as the components get cheaper, and other manufacturers introduce competing devices. The original iPhone cost about $600 and is now costs $100 (with two-year contract). Second, not all nonprofits are poor. Many invest heavily in technology. It's a question of priorities.

But definitely there's no need to feel the need to adopt the latest new shiny object. But I would encourage organization with the means to play around with devices like these. They are definitely reshaping internet development, and they are here to stay.
