I'm worried they might not bother, especially in countries where touchscreen calcs are disallowed in most tests.

I'd settle for a non-touch screen if it was color and used the class pad cas. I would prefer the touch screen given the choice however. I never cared for touch screens because the stylus gets lost all the time but with the iPad - no stylus required but one can be used and now sorry to say, I'm spoiled.BTW, Apple sold 15 million iPads in the first quarter of last alone and probably over 200 million all told, so clearly touch screens are here to stay and the testing authorities are going to have to update their thinking or be replaced. The schools that are buying class sets of iPads and putting digital text books and calculator apps on them are going to demand it. This change from books to digital books on iPads is coming with the momentum of a freight train and can't be stopped.
