Pennsylvania school to give iPad to all studentsSan Francisco Business Times - by Steven E.F. Brown
Seton Hill University
Seton Hill University in Greensburg, Pa., plans to give all its students an Apple iPad and a MacBook laptop computer in the fall.
The school will give the Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) devices to every student (it has about 1,550) in the fall, and to all entering freshmen thereafter.
Seton Hill has spent $1.5 million on campus technology infrastructure. It plans to charge students about $500 per term for this program.
Cupertino-based Apple is set to start selling the iPad, its latest much-hyped, must-have device, on Saturday. No one is yet sure how people will use the device, which will be sold through Apple’s own stores and at Best Buy. But Apple has been showing off the iPad’s possible uses in videos on its web site this week.
