Go To College, Get An iPad

Several universities provide free notebook computers for students, which no doubt is part of their effort to attract students from competing colleges. Duke University gave free iPods to incoming freshman in 2004, with the intent of incorporating them into classes and other colleges followed Duke’s lead and even expanded the idea to offering iPhones. Consequently, it’s not a surprise that Seton Hill University is giving iPads to every full time student. I am sure Seton Hill’s news is but the first that will be coming from colleges.

The most obvious reason for colleges to provide iPads to students is for text books.
