Apple iPad: University students in US get free tablets

It has been reported that one lucky University in the US will be dishing out Apple iPads to every single student in Autumn, once it becomes available this weekend – How lucky can you get?

As reported from Pocket-Lint, the University in question is Seton Hill University in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. So if you are a student there or going to be a new student – this is probably rather exciting news for you.

Starting from Fall 2010, all full-time students will be equipped with the Apple iPad, which will be able to assist them with note-taking and downloading textbooks from the Apple iBook store.

What are your thoughts on this? Bet you wish you were a student there? Back in my day, all I had was a Tescos Pad and 10p biro.
