Guess GNOME really IS a terrible user interface, haha. (Before you mod me as a troll, RTFA, they actually say this.)
This oughta up the distraction level still further in my lectures. Jesus. I thought it was bad enough that you got the occasional antisocial bastard who sat there through the whole thing with his headphones pounding out crappy music constantly. Now everyone is getting iPods? I've already known two friends who have theirs nicked. This is just going to be money poured down the drain that would be better spent on something helpful. The batteries run out by the time they leave, anyway! I find this very annoying; it's difficult to structure my thoughts because I can't see what real benefit these provide. Listening to music out and about is just a novelty that wears off after a few weeks. Just a marketing gimmick. Just think! All these people will probably now go out and buy useless Apple stuff to go with it!
