Never heard of Abilene Christian University? Were guessing a wide majority of the general public hasnt either, but the institution is definitely getting its name out there by promising each incoming freshman this fall an iPhone or iPod touch.Granted, these arent being explicitly marked as "free," but similar to Dukes efforts in years past, ACU plans on using these devices for educational enrichment. Reportedly, the handhelds will enable students to "receive homework alerts, answer in-class surveys and quizzes, get directions to their professors offices, and check their meal and account balances" -- and thats just for starters.
