More students are adopting Macs and the iPhone

by billso on Thursday, 21 August 2008

As we start the uni­ver­sity school year in North Amer­ica, more stu­dents are buy­ing and using Macs and iPhones. In a few cases, uni­ver­si­ties are giv­ing fresh­man stu­dents Apple hard­ware. 9to5mac has an excel­lent arti­cle on this trend called iPhone takes a seat across uni­ver­sity cam­puses. Jonathan D. Glater also dis­cussed uni­ver­sity Mac adop­tion in his New York Times arti­cle called Wel­come Fresh­man. Have an iPod

With the high cost of gas, fewer stu­dents are dri­ving them­selves to campus.

Will fewer stu­dents be tempted to use their iPhones and iPod Touches as heads-up video dis­plays in their auto­mo­biles, as shown in jiggymatt’s YouTube video called “Heads Up” iPhone Dis­play and dis­cussed in a bookofjoe arti­cle called ‘It’s great — I can watch my stuff while I’m dri­ving’?

If you’re dumb enough to watch videos while you’re dri­ving, you prob­a­bly shouldn’t be going to college.
