Apple's rumored January event will be concentrating on iTunes U, and education in general, according to sources in touch with blogger and Fox News anchor Clayton Morris. Morris says he first heard about the event in September; at the time it was scheduled for late fall in New York, but ultimately postponed.

Some sort of renting service for e-textbooks would be amazing. I'd use the extra money and buy a smaller backpack that didn't look like I was packing for hike through the wilderness.

Shoulda bought a Tumi... Though from what I have seen if you can buy one Prada bag you can afford to make that kinda mistake. :)

Honestly I would love to see some kind of digital textbook agreement, and perhaps some partnerships with middle and high schools to get more students involved in programming.

Some of my professors love students to have books and backpacks. I love my iPad.

eTextbook rentals would be great nonetheless but I don't think some of my professors would approve of me having the iPad out.
