It doesn't matter if all the kids do is play Tetris on it all day. Most of them will. Thats how they learn, thats how they will pick up the technology. Then the curious ones will try to download more games for it and in the process figure out that Android is open source and that they can make their own games for it.
That is when the real purpose of these tablets comes into play.
I remember I got my first computer in grade 2. All I did was play games. By grade 10, I was setting up my own http/ftp/email servers. Then I tried installing mac on windows. By grade 11, I knew everything that went inside the box. Now, I'm studying computer engineering.
All kids need is support (infrastructure for education), they are already curious enough to take whatever it is you give them to the next level.
