Students in Japan Get iPhone 3G for Free Posted: 17 May 2009 12:41 PM PDT Now students at a Japanese University will get iPhones for free. Aoyama Gakuin University in Japan will now be giving its students free iPhones. The university has tied up with SoftBank, the only iPhone provider in Japan, for this new initiative. The students will be using their University supplied iPhones for attendance reporting, lecture podcasting and having online examination..maybe watching porn sometimes he he he...just kidding. Check out the news item below: "Softbank Mobile, Japan's only cellphone operator dealing with iPhone 3G, and Aoyama Gakuin University announced on Friday that they would distribute the handset to all students studying at the university's school of social informatics. The students are allowed to use it for attendance reporting, lecture podcasting and having online examination. When a student submits his/her class attending to the university's office with the iPhone 3G, it attaches GPS-based location data and prevents answering the roll call for another to get a credit." [Via] So when Universities in the US are making iPhone compulsory for students (not giving them free), Japanese universities are giving them for free. What do you think? I hope, someday, Indian Universities also do these kind of things, would like to go back and start the process of learning once again ;-)
