Christopher,
Cedar Rapids public had a pretty good system for wiping their android tablets.  I'm not sure if they still are doing the tablets; they were very popular but they had a pretty good loss rate.  I don't remember the process exactly but the tablets did cycle through IT to get reimaged.  They had a dedicated computer and would plug them in and then run some scripts.  I’m pretty sure the turnaround was less than a day.  I think Patrick Duggan from CRPD could give you the details.  They also came up some custom cases that the tablets were lent with.

Lou Ann,

Thank you for that prospective...the tablets which we plan to deploy are Android and iOS powered devices.

All the best,
