If you read the linked pages you can see that the the Edubuntu project is targeting to ship Edubuntu on the Zatab. The retail price for these is $349 presently. An iPad 2 can be bought for $399.

While I understand the reasons why free software is important, I think that in this case an iPad 2 provides far more than $50 extra value over a generic tablet.

The comparison in the title doesn't make any sense either. Bugs in one product : Sales of another product is meaningless.
