College Hands Out iPod Touch, iPhone To Freshmen

A college in Texas is handing out either an iPhone or iPod Touch to new students this fall. The school says that the program is designed to help students learn…but I’m sure all the media attention doesn’t hurt enrollment either.

ACU freshmen will use the iPhone or iPod touch to get homework alerts, answer in-class surveys and quizzes, get directions to professors' offices, and check their meal and account balances, among other things. ACU has already developed 15 Web-based applications optimized for the iPhone or iPod touch.
