It's all about the apps, stupid.

While I applaud the EUbuntu project's goals and think they're very worthy indeed, I also think they're deluding themselves if they are targeting the Apple iPad as competition.

I realize that's likely to be an unpopular view here, because hating on Apple is geekdom's new favorite past time, but to my mind it's fairly clear cut.

What's my point in all this? I think folks should focus on building great educational apps, and the platform will follow.

They're not going up against the iPad directly, instead they're making a top-to-bottom system that makes more sense for schools than iPads do. http://jonathancarter.org/2012/05/10/edubuntu-preliminary-pl...
