Two new members just joined the iPad accessory family.
Logitech just announced a $49 Apple Pencil alternative called Crayon, and a $99 rugged case for Apple's iPad. Both are aimed at kids, both inside and outside of the classroom.
We got a quick minute to play with the Logitech Crayon; it isn't pressure sensitive, but you can use it on iPads that support Apple Pencil, not just the new 9.7-inch iPad with Pencil support that Apple launched with youngsters in mind. Think of it more like a responsive stylus with basic functions for kids rather than a nuanced tool for artists.
The accessories are part of Apple's push to regain ground in school classrooms while also giving its iPad business some much-needed momentum. Apple hopes that its new iPad will help push Google's lower-priced Chromebooks out of schools, which have become popular with teachers and students.
Our team is running to the demo room to go hands-on. Check back for more photos, impressions and Logitech Crayon updates.
