Tony I think BYOD (bring your own device) is a great idea and shouldn't be locked down to a particular device in schools. I personally used Mandrake Linux on my laptop at school when the policy was windows only, (and got away with it) I think the goals being discussed were more school mandated and administrated devices, and which device is best value for a school, which is where most of my experience and input comes from, but I can't see any harm discussing other goals as well.
