Agree. When I think about the reasons, it's not just portability. Netbooks weren't that successful. It has more to do with how natural it is to experience technology when it is closer to the way we humans behave - Touch, Swipe, etc.

The ease of carrying it, simplicity, etc. apart from interesting applications like "Peek for Evernote", etc. will soon make it one of the best learning tools for kids.
