Duke using ipods

Duke university began passing out ipods to the incoming freshman as an experiment.
The sucsess seemed to be high. The students were able to download things on to their ipods which were useful to them in the classroom.They even began to use things such as the alarm clock settings to wake themselves up for class.
I honestly have mixed feelings about using ipods in the classroom. Personally I do not own one myself.I am not sure what the long term benifits would be.I really didnt know ipods had some of the capabilities the mentioned.I will probably have to research this topic further before I can have a response.
