And wouldn't a better investment be the new iPad? the iPad would be much more beneficial in education settings than an iPhone is. I mean honestly, how much has the iPhone changed classes at ACU other than distracting more students? At least a bigger device like the iPad would be able to handle more tasks. And it's harder to hide your noneducational pursuits on a 10 in. screen than on a phone. Now the real question:
