A bit of iPad trivia for you:

ALL new students who enrol at the University of Western Sydney in 2013 will receive an iPad, as part of a massive rollout announced today.

The university said in a statement it would distribute 11,000 iPads to each new student and all academic staff in 2013 "to support learning and teaching innovations across the curriculum and in informal learning environments".
 
"With digital technology revolutionising how we connect and interact with the world, university study should be no different," said Professor Kerri-Lee Krause, the university's pro vice-chancellor (Education).

Wow: ’The university said in a statement it would distribute 11,000 iPads to each new student...'. Now that's generous!

Yes — students will be able to pick up quite a bit of spare cash by selling the other 10,999.
