"In a move demonstrating the growing popularity of MP3 players over PDAs, Duke University is giving free Apple iPods to its 1,650 incoming freshmen when school starts next month," reports USA Today.
"Since the iPod's 2001 debut, consumers have snapped up nearly 4 million units for listening to music on the go. Duke, however, bought iPods as mini-computers for educational uses, such as listening to lectures, practicing foreign languages and studying dialects."
