University gives students free Apple iPhones, MacBooks

March 2, 2008

University gives students free Apple iPhones, MacBooks It’s hard to beat getting stuff for free.  Students of a certain university attending new student orientation and summer classes will be issued new MacBooks and offered either an iPhone or iPod Touch.

Oklahoma Christian University has launched the program to ensure that “students have the technology necessary to combine digital fluency with the strengths of a liberal arts education.

The program includes faculty as well.  Current students will not be left out either, they will be able to trade-in their old laptop for a new MacBook.  As far as the choice of an iPod Touch or iPhone go, the University “is providing this option with the understanding that some students will not want to activate the iPhone with the associated service contract and costs, while others will prefer the iPhone and the added capabilities.”

That means those wishing to choose the iPhone will have to head over to an AT&T store and pay any and all associated activation and contract fees.  It’s nice that the University gives the option; in my opinion, the iPod Touch is the superior choice.

If you need an incentive to go to student orientation, this is it.  It’s too bad not all Universities offer such a program.  The only way this could be better is if you had a choice of the iPhone/iPod Touch and MacBook or just a MacBook Pro.
