Its not new for Universities and colleges to make things like Laptops and Notebook computers compulsory for students. These gadgets compliment their academics. But some of the universities in the US of A have started making it mandatory for students to own a iPhone or the iPod touch. New students taking admissions this fall will be asked to carry either an iPhone or the iPod touch along with them. The University of Missouri and Houston Community College are some of the few colleges who have gone ahead and adopted this as these colleges will have classes delivered as podcasts through the iTunes store and these universities are also in the process of adopting Apple's other hardware products. This seems to be a very innovative approach from the universities as they want to be in-sync with their students who are hooked to an iPhone or the iPod touch. Apple will be the happiest of them all.
