    Very Useful

    • Written by from Cheshire

    We've used it for updating the OS software a number of times with no problems. It syncs all of the iPads simultaneously, both contrary to what the last review says. We're hoping iOS5 clears up a lot of issues but the main thing is that you need a physical connection (USB) right now to put the wireless information and this has made that process very fast using the iPhone Configuation Utility. …More

    A Powerful Tool but Very Expensive

    • Written by from Scottsboro

    I just used two of these carts to upgrade and sync 700+ iPads for a K-12 school deployment. The cart made the impossible possible by allowing us to update/image 60 iPads at once instead of having to do them one at a time. As far function these carts worked perfectly.

    The Good:
    - Allows charging, updating, syncing of up to 30 iPads at once
    - Very well built, you won't have to worry about it falling apart
    - Compact size for what it can store

    The Bad:
    - VERY expensive, almost to the point where K-12 education can't even consider using them for anything other than special use like I described above
    - The cables could stand to be another 1/2" to 1" longer
    - The 30 pin connectors aren't made as good as the ones that come with an ipad. Some can be hard to connect to an iPad and some have to be inserted just right to make a data connection
    - Needs connection lights on the front since the 30-pin connectors have issues, have to walk around and look at the back to make sure all iPads are connected     …More

    Inadequate Theft Prevention

    • Written by from East Meadow

    We purchased one cart. The iPads fit nicely, but the USB cables were difficult to use easily and the cart’s design and construction is not good. A student showed us how they could steal iPads from the cart without the use of tools even when the cart doors were locked. I would not recommend this cart to be used in an educational setting. …More

    Positives
    -30 iPads at once. Awesome.
    -Charges them all independent of a computer
    -Just 1 power cord
    -Holds iPads securely

    Negatives
    -Man this things expensive.
    -Build quality is good, but not $2600 good.
    -Status lights are on the BACK of the unit.. against the wall (usually)
    -Cords are thick and stiff, and fit loosely in the iPads     …More
