Apple in Education: Part V


Apple in Education: Part V 12/19/2004 02:51 PM
Most people think of music when they hear the word “iPod”, but the diminutive music player has other attributes that are making it an invaluable tool for the classroom. “The iPod is a portable tool for diction and sound recording, taking and reading notes, storing files and photos and listening to audio books and newspapers,” Apple says on its Education website. With enough space to store four weeks of continuous music, or 40,000 minutes of audiobooks, or a months worth of newspaper articles, the 40GB iPod is a “pretty big backpack”, Apple says. In fact, the iPod has proven itself so useful as a learning tool some schools are making it mandatory for students to own one. At the Brearley School, a private school for girls on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, the iPod became a necessity on the school supply list this year, according to a New York Times article. The iPod was incorporated into foreign-language and classics courses and for about 300 girls in grades 7 through 12 for homework and classroom assignments. The NY Times reports that Apple says Brearley's mandatory-iPod program is the first it has heard of at the secondary-school level. At the post-secondary level, the iPod is also becoming a vital tool. This fall Duke issued an iPod to each of its 1,650 incoming freshmen and has tried to incorporate the device into several courses, including music, language and engineering. Last year, Georgia College & State University began lending the devices to students for use in several humanities courses. If the iPod’s multiple features already listed here weren’t enough to convince parents and educators of its importance beyond a music player, it can also keep track of schedules through its support of vCalendar and iCalendar files, which can be exported by Microsoft Entourage, Palm Desktop, and iCal. And finally, the alarm clock feature should eliminate tardiness in any student who owns one. Part I Part II Part III Part IV

Yo Apple, make this happen 12/24/2004 01:01 PM

Now that I have a phone that takes some impressive photos (This shot is probably the best example I've seen for color, depth, and light that the little cam can capture), I really wish iPhoto could manage my images instead of my preview-free bluetooth file browser.

I bet it'd be trivial for Apple to enable connections via Bluetooth (to your paired devices) to import photos.


Apple Looking To Make iPods Droppable


Apple Looking To Make iPods Droppable 12/24/2004 12:18 PM
My IBM Thinkpad has a feature where it tries to recognize if the laptop is falling, and if it is, to protect the hard drive to (hopefully) prevent damage. It appears tha Apple has been working on a similar technology for the more-likely-to-be-dropped iPod. Apple apparently filed for a patent on the technology in June 2003. It's unclear from the article if IBM filed for a similar patent, but if they had it's likely they did so earlier, because the Thinkpads started including the feature in October of 2003.

Sources: Asustek to make iPod mini for
Apple
09/03/2004 08:23 AM
Asustek Computer has received OEM orders for the iPod mini digital music player from Apple Computer, according to market sources. Asustek is the second Taiwan-based manufacturer of the digital devices since Inventec Appliances also produces the iPod for Apple. Asustek will assemble and ship the iPod to Apple from its plant in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province (China), the sources said.

The iPod orders will help Asustek in working toward its goal of becoming a key provider of consumer electronics products, the sources noted. In related news, Inventec is expected to continue to supply Apple with its current iPod models. In addition, Inventec is also likely to secure orders for a similar version of the iPod from Hewlett-Packard (HP), the sources said. Apple and HP entered into an agreement earlier this year for HP to resell the iPod under the HP brand.

Asustek and Inventec both declined to comment on the report, citing client confidentiality
