Article about all incoming freshman receiving iPhones in the Fall '08 at Abilene Christian.

I wish they had this sorta deal back when I was in school.

Pretty cool. I wonder if they'll get the new (rumored) 3G phones or the old stock. But I'd rather go to the university that "gives" a Macbook.

I would rather not spend $18k on Tuition and pay for my own gadgets...

I like that they can send emergency information of it, and why not a free iPhone?!

Maybe I should apply there...(goes to collegeboard.com to see the requirments)

The article doesn't say anything about the possible negative outcomes of this.
I'm not sure i'd like that.
What happens if you have a little accident with the iPhone?
What if you don't want the service the iPhones have?
What if you don't want an iPhone period?

I would think that it was optional. It sounds like all the programs they use for the iPhone are convenient, but not absolute. I am sure that for those who don't have the iPhone, or want one, there is no penalty. I don't know what they plan with phone service, but I would hope they figured something out
