Melbourne College May Give iPad To Every Student

daria42 writes "It looks like Apple's hyped iPad tablet may find a functional use beyond the early technology adopter set. In Australia, a Melbourne University college recently completed a trial where a limited number of students were given an iPad to aid in their studies. The outcome? The college has now recommended every student be given one of the Apple devices, following in the footsteps of the University of Adelaide, which is handing out iPads to every first year science student. Sure beats lugging around the old textbooks!"

I love your mentality. It is, unfortunately, being adopted by those on the left in the US. Has been adopted, I should say.

"Too shiny in fact. Is it really just me who can't see anything but reflected lights on iPod screens?"

It seems like only yesterday people were complaining about the "low contrast matte" screens that Macs used to sport. For some people it does not matter what Apple does, they will always have an emotional reaction against it.
