I suspect that they will get few takers unless they get loads of iPad 1's  Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

I like the idea of MS collecting the iPads and... blending them? Throwing them into a volcano?

I imagine the reaction being something like this, but with iPads http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z87_5gYsG1M_________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

They might be using them to see what makes the iPad so much better than the Surface. Longer term I want there to be a decent tablet from Microsoft so that there is decent competition out there. I do not see the android devices offering that yet. Price maybe but overall experience is still much better with iOS. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted.

It is a way of getting their devices in the public hands and getting some form of traction.

Microsoft did a similar thing with iPods a while back. It was their attempt to get their staff to use Zunes instead. They had an iPod amnesty bin. http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/ ... geNumber=1 iPod Amnesty Bin by fimoculous, on Flickr Seemingly, it went well.
