They are both of course. This little device is stirring up a lot of attention, and I think deservedly so. If we look back at the survey of technology that students own, we find that over 80% own laptops, but only about 13% of them consider bringing a laptop on campus for a variety of good reasons. So now what will happen? I think the iPod Touch (iTouch) will change how students access our IT resources. It also has the potential to enhance how we teach and how students learn. The iTouch is the same price as a low end iPhone, so it's not real cheap, but it doesn't come with the burdensome continuing fee of a cell phone contract. Speaking as a parent - Yippee! As a potential user - that's what I want. While the iTouch does not support everything I want out of the box, it won't be long. There is huge interest in open source hacks to make this happen. The web site iPhoneHacks is a great starting point for this information. I think we need to be prepared to not only make sure this works at Penn State on our wireless networks, but also to advise and help with hacks that make this device really useful. This could be a disruptive technology. Let's be sure to be the disruptors instead of the disruptees.
