ACU dishing out iPhone / iPod touch to all incoming freshmen – Engadget

Reportedly, the handhelds will enable students to “receive homework alerts, answer in-class surveys and quizzes, get directions to their professors’ offices, and check their meal and account balances” — and that’s just for starters. Interestingly, we aren’t told whether or not the folks already enrolled will be left out — nor what determines which Apple you get — but we do know that the entity is hoping to “expand the program in the future.”

For some reason I remember this being done when Palm computers were all the rage?  Is it we have a new hammer and the world looks like a nail?
