Duke gives iPods to freshmen class

by billso on Monday, 19 July 2004

Tech: Yahoo! News — Apple Rolls Out Cheaper iPods: For­get PDAs! For­get note­books. Col­lege stu­dents really need a fancy Walk­man with a big hard drive. I sup­pose Duke has locked down their cam­pus net­work against p2p pro­grams, too.

As part of a pilot pro­gram, Duke Uni­ver­sity plans to give iPods loaded with school cal­en­dars and other infor­ma­tion to its 1,800 incom­ing fresh­men. Stu­dents can down­load class mate­ri­als to lis­ten to any­thing from audio exam­ples of text­book exer­cises to Span­ish songs. ”
