“Tablets” has taken a significant market share from desktop computers and conventional laptops. And business of “Tablets” is also expected with a promising future. Taking current development of “Tablets” and Internet infrastructure into account, the core of this research is to address the consumer trend regarding the application of such a “Tablets” in educational market, specifically in the segment of school children.
The main structure of this research bases on Technology Acceptance Model (TAM)and Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Questionnaires are deployed purposely to gather profile of potential consumers, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perception of product specification, built-in software/application, user attitude, user behavior, user experience, will of purchase, and perceived price for further analysis according to the survey audiences of Taipei parents of primary school students. The findings of this research reflect the suitability of the use of a “Tablets” for primary school education with the perspectives on product specification and built-in software. The survey of user experience also demonstrates a positive relation between the “Tablets” and its application for pre-school education.

integration among hardware/software vendors, research institutes, schools and also current government’s policy in digital content with more pedagogy approaches and educational aspects to cater this particular educational market.
