This is so cool! Duke freshmen line up to get their Apple iPods

“‘Cool’ was the word of the night as eager members of the Class of 2008 gathered en masse on the East Campus Quadrangle Thursday to receive their long-awaited and highly-publicized welcome gifts: 20-gigabyte Apple iPods,” Seyward Darby reports for The Duke Chronicle. “‘This is so cool,’ freshman after freshman exclaimed as they were handed boxes containing the tiny digital devices that are at the heart of the much-hyped Duke iPod First-Year Experience.”

“The option to purchase music via Apple iTunes will exist on the new website alongside explanations and warnings about the illegal downloads and copyright violations that many have said may come as a result of the iPod project. Tracy Futhey, vice-president of information technology and chief information officer for the University, said she is confident that the distribution of the iPods will not generate a new burst of music piracy on campus thanks to the website

  1. That sucks…while its cool to be holding an iPod in your hands…you are spotted and indentified as a freshman…hmmm then again…the female upperclassmen might be attracted to the the freshmen….or is it the iPod that they are attracted to? ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”smile” style=”border:0;” /> It wont be till 4 years later the upperclassmen will have iPods when the freshman get their 8th generation iPods. 8G iPods? hmmmm. Time flies.

  2. Upperclasswomen attracted to the freshmen ? As rare as a pelican at an ice skating rink.

    And so what if the older students are jealous. Way to go, Duke U and Apple.

    If I’m holding the iPod, does it really matter? As long as she… well you know.

  4. Just great, while I’m here waiting for USC to actually inform us about the Napster thing (they’ve yet to even mention it), Duke students are picking up their iPods…

  5. FREE IPODS? I doubt it, but what the heck?

    ok, i know it sounds like a scam, but this site *appears* to be giving away free iPods.
    Wired confirms it here:

    so what do you have to lose? I’ll let everybody know if I get a free iPod! I simply signed up for BMG’s offer of 12 CD’s for a buck… now if i get 5 other people to do the same, I’ll get a free iPod. And YOU’LL get a free one after you sign up and get 5 people to join.

    what do i have to lose? Just PLEASE sign up through THIS LINK so that I get credited!
