University Giving iPhones To Freshmen With Pre-loaded Apps

In a move that will have students all over the world drooling, Abilene Christian University has announced that they will be giving all 2008 incoming freshmen an iPhone!

This iPhone will be pre-loaded with 15 web applications by the University, which will enable students to locate professors’ offices, answer in-class surveys, check schedules and whatever other beautiful things the iPhone is capable of.

A statement from their official site said:

“We are not merely providing cutting-edge technology tools to our incoming students,” said Roberts. “We are also providing the web applications that ensure these tools will become critical to the students’ learning experience. Because 93 percent of ACU students bring their own computers with them to college, we are choosing to take them to the next level by providing converged mobile devices.”
