US college students and teachers who buy a Mac get an iPod Touch thrown in a back-to-school promotion. (Fine print: you have to buy before Sept. 8 and shell out the cash for the iPod touch, which you get back via rebate. Full details here.)
The ad shows a cheerful student whose iPod Touch displays “Monopoly” but with the iPod Touch being used more frequently in colleges for orientation, class lectures and in some cases required or in place of textbooks having one is becoming less of a plus and more of a necessity.
