You know, there’s got to be some perks about going to college. Sure, the knowledge that you’re (one step) closer to getting a good job and living the life you’ve always wanted should be good enough, but, let’s be realistic. We need a reason in the here and now, right? Thanks to the Seton Hill University, students that enroll for this Fall semester, full-time, are going to get a pretty big bonus: an iPad.

According to the tip received, students will be able to get their iPad thanks to the Technology Advantage Program. Furthermore, it looks like students will also be able to download the school’s literature from Apple’s iBookstore. The school will also, obviously, allow students to use it for file sharing, as well as taking notes in class. It would be quite entertaining if they outlawed it from classes, wouldn’t it? After all, it’s a pretty great multimedia device, now isn’t it?

We’re seeing this as only the beginning. With one university doing it, we’re sure that Apple is going to wiggle its way into the hearts of a lot more students well into the future. And it makes perfect sense, especially from a student’s perspective. After all, who wants to carry around all those books? Now you can have them all in one place, and it will only weigh a little over a pound. Definitely makes us want to get back to class, if just to get an iPad.

  2. For once I agree with you 100% known, it is because the phone is at the end of their cycle have. dvd to ipod touch It Apple and Microsoft who placed or where going to place a lawsuit against Linux and the open community for using H.264. And isn't it Apple who is pushing for H.264 to be part of the HTML 5 standard. Not that is evil since they force a standard where everybody has to pay them for using H.264.Here Google has dropped a close standard in favor two open standard. Again how is that evil?I think you need to educate yourself before you bash anybody and quite drinking so much of the cool aid.=X=
