<p>Saw this on the Duke website. Looks like not everyone is getting them next year like with the Class of 2008 but theyll still find ways to give them out.</p>

<p>darn, I was hoping for an ipod.. maybe they'll give them out to focus students?</p>

<p>I doubt they're giving them out, just letting you have access to them.</p>

4

<p>while i visted campus for the minority weekend someone told me they were giving out PSP's this year to freshman</p>

<p>Amused: actually they are giving them out. Here's a quote from the article:

[quote]
The university’s Center for Instructional Technology (CIT) will coordinate the use and distribution of the devices, which will be given to any student who enrolls in a course whose proposed use of iPods is coordinated through CIT. Students who receive an iPod through the program will own the device and be expected to retain it for future use in any other Duke classes using iPods.

<p>This sounds kind of weird. Wouldn't that make it more common for people to enroll in classes that have iPods over classes that they're more interested in?</p>

7

<p>Yeah, that doesn't seem really fair</p>

8

<p>psp!?
What are you smoking?</p>

<p>omg.... that would be AWESOME, I can just imagine the bus ride between east and west campus</p>

13

<p>*** I DO NOT WANT A PSP UGHGHGH*$T(<em>&$</em>^^# >:O!!!!!!!
i'd rather just touch coach k once or something</p>

<p>PSPs?!??!?!</p>

14

<p>ipods i could see, but what POSSIBLE excuse could they have for giving out psp's?? haha.. i'd rather have an ipod, anyway.</p>

15

<p>I second that charmedone. Not that I would complain, but I don't think they'd ever have a passable excuse for giving them to the students.</p>
