Wired News: "As part of a pilot program, Duke University plans to give iPods loaded with school calendars and other information to its 1,800 incoming freshmen. Students can download class materials to listen to anything from audio examples of textbook exercises to Spanish songs."
In case you haven't heard, Apple introduced two new iPod models today in what amounts to an evolutionary release: 20GB and 40GB models for $299 and $399 respectively. The most significant new features: Shuffle Play is now listed on the main menu and the Apple Click Wheel first introduced on the iPod mini earlier this year has been adopted by its bigger brother. Glancing at the spec sheet, I'm disappointed to see Apple has used a little bit of "BIG PRINT GIVETH, little print taketh" with this release: Docks are no longer included. True prices? $338 / $438.
