University Tries "One iPhone Per Student"

alphadogg writes to tell us that one freshman class has a little more than usual to be excited about. When students at Abilene Christian University showed up for their first days of class they were greeted with the choice of either a new iPhone 3g or an iPod Touch plus a package of custom web apps to use on them. "The hardware is part of the Texas university's pilot mobile learning project, which has been gestating for over a year. About 650 first-year students chose the iPhone, and about 300 the iPod Touch, which is a very similar device but without the 3G radio (both devices incorporate an 802.11g Wi-Fi adapter). ACU pays for the hardware, student (or their parents) select and pay for their monthly AT&T service plan."

At LEAST i post under my name and am capable of poking fun at myself, wheres "anonymous coward" permits people to shamelessly insult or outright attack people from a position of comfort.

What's worse?

At least *i* choose not mot moderate people's comments because i'm not in a position to knock them. And when i disagree, i do it in my own name.
