Still I think that making notes on math subjects need a pencil.
but the cost of a budget mp3 player is lower than $10 – like two beers in a local pub.

Anyway, here is an interesting report “Missouri students ‘must buy Apple’” http://www.tgdaily.com/index2.php?option=com_content&do_pdf=1&id=42382

Besides that, it’s a sunk cost for a good fraction of the incoming class if I had to guess.

I’ve had my iPhone for about 9 months now. I use it instead of my laptop on many occasions. It’s that good. I am reminded of how the way people use personal computers changed when the Mac became widely available (including the quick copying by Microsoft — remember when Windows used to run on top of DOS?). Not all hype here.
