oh man, that's sick!
good marketing move i suppose, nothing to envy over though. few hundred dollars is nothing compare to tuition and room and board.
"The iPods will come with files including academic calendars and campus maps, and students will be able to download course information, language lessons, music, recorded lectures and audio books from a university Web site similar to Apple's iTunes Internet music store. Students will also be able to buy music through the Duke site"
/writes his own follow up article
The original files will be deleted mere seconds after having enough battery life for synching up the ipod with the student's computers. And a massive new p2p campus wide network of anti-RIAA material will be set up before the end of the year. ![]()
exactly what i was thinking...
99.9% of the people won't give a rat's about using it for academic purposes and the .1% will be a small band of nerds who go onto forums to mod it... hahaha geeks. :nerd:
if i were given the chance, i would use it for academics.

I dont think there is anyone from duke here, Lostspyder. You can stop the act, we all know you'd sell it to pimp up your shopping cart. ![]()
Man, thats crap, my school should have done that... oh wait, i went to a school so technologically behind that they were anti wireless to the extent that they would confiscate any wireless stuff they found
lol, and Duker's will see their student fees get bumped by $300. Suckers to those who don't want ipods.
