More Than A Music Player: How To Use The iPod In New And Creative Ways

The iPod is arguably the ultimate cultural icon for the 2000s. But its use is evolving, and it is now also a tool for some college students and budding DJs alike. At Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, they have taken it one step further: giving all first year students such a device. Some 1,600 Apple iPods were handed out free of charge. The university is paying out of its technology budget. The students can keep the digital music players, specially engraved with the university's logo, if they can show physical ownership after one year.

At Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, school officials are giving all first-year students Apple’s iconic music player. Some 1,600 Apple iPods were handed out free of charge. The university is paying for the iPods out of its technology budget.

Students can download audio files of lectures and listen to them on the iPod. They can also download documents and other materials to the iPod’s hard drive.

Students are allowed to keep the digital music players, specially engraved with the university’s logo, if they can still show physical ownership after one year. But if they lose it, they have to pay for it.

But does a trend-setting gadget really belong on the college campus? “The fact that it’s “pop culture” doesn’t mean that’s the only use it can be put to,” says Peter Lange, provost of Duke University.
