I think the pictures tell the story best! Thank you Sue for yet another outstanding party!

Pennsylvania school to give iPad to students

Yesterday at our Home Users Club we discussed e-readers - what they are, how they work, etc. In our opinion, we determined that in the near future students won't have text books, they'll be replaced by the Kindle, Nook, iPad or some other e-reader out there.

Turns out, we were right. Check out this article from the San Francisco Business Times:

Seton Hill University in Greensburg, Pa., plans to give all its students an Apple iPad and a MacBook laptop computer in the fall.

The school will give the Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) devices to every student (it has about 1,550) in the fall, and to all entering freshmen thereafter.

Seton Hill has spent $1.5 million on campus technology infrastructure. It plans to charge students about $500 per term for this program.

Cupertino-based Apple is set to start selling the iPad, its latest much-hyped, must-have device, on Saturday. No one is yet sure how people will use the device, which will be sold through Apple’s own stores and at Best Buy. But Apple has been showing off the iPad’s possible uses in videos on its web site this week.



Absolutely amazing huh? Thanks to Marie Counterman for sending this article to me. You are quite the student ;)
