This is just a weak ploy by both Apple and Duke to create some sort of buzz with a bunch of leftover 3G iPods, and give the kids thinking of applying to Duke a reason to convince their parents that it's a great school...]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/07/20/duke-university-buys-thousands-of-rich-kids-ipods/http://www.engadget.com/2004/07/20/duke-university-buys-thousands-of-rich-kids-ipods/Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/07/20/duke-university-buys-thousands-of-rich-kids-ipods/http://www.engadget.com/2004/07/20/duke-university-buys-thousands-of-rich-kids-ipods/

I think I'm in the minority, though. The general consensus seems to be of the "hey...cool!" variety.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/07/20/duke-university-buys-thousands-of-rich-kids-ipods/http://www.engadget.com/2004/07/20/duke-university-buys-thousands-of-rich-kids-ipods/Something's bound to be jerry rigged in a cool new way.

Dukes freshman class doesn't even rise above 1700. I'm not seeing multiple thousands there. Plus there are hundreds on financial aid there...Duke meets 100% demonstrated need.
'hyping 3G iPods' Sorry again -- they'll be 4G.
Tuition goes up every year, at nearly every school...have you ever seen it go down? This money was set aside more than 2 years ago.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/07/20/duke-university-buys-thousands-of-rich-kids-ipods/http://www.engadget.com/2004/07/20/duke-university-buys-thousands-of-rich-kids-ipods/Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/07/20/duke-university-buys-thousands-of-rich-kids-ipods/http://www.engadget.com/2004/07/20/duke-university-buys-thousands-of-rich-kids-ipods/Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/07/20/duke-university-buys-thousands-of-rich-kids-ipods/http://www.engadget.com/2004/07/20/duke-university-buys-thousands-of-rich-kids-ipods/Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/07/20/duke-university-buys-thousands-of-rich-kids-ipods/http://www.engadget.com/2004/07/20/duke-university-buys-thousands-of-rich-kids-ipods/Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/07/20/duke-university-buys-thousands-of-rich-kids-ipods/http://www.engadget.com/2004/07/20/duke-university-buys-thousands-of-rich-kids-ipods/Dec 19th 2005 1:01AM
