A:AnswerCertainly. The preference for Apple rests on a very good marketing job by the late Steve Jobs. It has nothing to do with tech. All smoke & mirrors. Pick applications that run under both Android & iOS -- lots of 'em -- and ask your children which is better? A full-featured tablet AND money in their pocket, or a full-featured tablet and an EMPTY pocket. Fail the students who prefer the latter. I did.
A:AnswerYes you can, but some apps don't allow zooming, but that's in rare cases. You can also increase font of everything without using fingers by going to settings. It is all touchscreen.
