Congratulations to the good ol’ State of Maine for purchasing another 36,000 iBooks. This makes me proud to be from Maine.
“We think this is a phenomenal proposal. Now we have to sit down and negotiate the intricacies of the program,” Maine Education Commission Susan Gendron said.
Sounds like a great deal to me as well. $289/unit/year comes out to about $1146 per laptop… Which on the surface might sound like a lot, but the overall price also includes upgraded wireless network equipment, a four year warranty as well as training. That is a fantastic deal.
