Upper classmen will not be happy about this.

If you deleted the school crap and uploaded 20 gigs of mp3's you'd be left with an empty IPOD and would probably go over your bandwith limitation. I'm not sure where you're uploading to but 20 gigs is a lot of space in anyones book.

the price tag on this is $500K for Duke. I find that a bit frustrating. Why not take that $500K and put it into scholarships or something a bit more beneficial?

Did you read Duke's stupid reasoning for this give away?:

"The goal of the giveaway is education, not entertainment, Duke officials say. Students might use their iPods, for instance, to listen to assigned songs or audio clips in music or foreign-language courses. And students in some courses will be given microphones so they can record lectures or field interviews with the devices. "

Kudos to the killer Apple sales rep that sold these suckers hook line and sinker.

I'm a Duke upperclassman. Let me just say that upperclassman have no right to complain. There are other programs that cost more and benefit less people.

Yet anyone from a regular state school paying only a fraction of that can get a $60k+ job after graduation...
