in Philadelphia this month where it will offer hands-on workshops and
sessions as well as an “iPod Loaner Program.” The company will have
100 iPod Photos, filled with educational content, to lend out. Those
who attend a classroom session will receive a complimentary iLife CD
featuring over 120 educator-created lesson plans.
"Test drive the iPod and find out for yourself just how useful it can
be in the classroom," Apple states. "Learn how iPod facilitates
learning on the go, how you can share music around the globe, how
digital media can be used to increase achievement, the exciting new
features of Mac OS X v10.4 “Tiger,” and more."
Apple will be exhibiting at booth 1300 on June 28, 29 and 30.
Apple Continues Their Program To Hook

Apple Continues Their Program To Hook
Students With Free iPods
07/20/2004 02:45 AMHot off the severely overhyped announcement concerning the latest iPod
models (er... honestly, they look pretty similar to the old ones)
Slashdot has the
story
that
Duke
University is giving away "free" iPods to incoming freshman (which
won't make the upperclassmen happy, but what can you do?). The "free"
is a bit of a misdirection, because most people attending Duke are
paying an awful lot of money for the privilege, and I'm sure a slight
tuition bump to pay for the iPod will mostly go unnoticed. Of course,
this isn't the first time this has been done. Last year we wrote
about students at Georgia College & State University
receivi
ng iPods donated by Apple. While both cases talked about the
educational uses of such devices, it's more likely an attempt by Apple
to get people hooked early, so when they make big announcements about
iPods that really don't seem all that different than the last ones,
these kids have to go out and spend their money on them. It's the
same strategy Napster is using in
signing up colleges.

Retail Stores Trying Software Kiosks...
Again
Retail Stores Trying Software Kiosks...
Again
12/16/2003 04:14 PMAbout five years ago, I was involved in a project looking at software
kiosks for retail stores. The idea was that a shopper could walk up
to the kiosk, select from a bunch of software titles, and the machine
would pop out a receipt. Meanwhile, a second machine in the back of
the store would get to work burning a CD and related artwork (and,
potentially, manuals). This way, the thinking went, any software
store (or, really, any store) could hold millions of software titles.
However, the more I looked into it, the less exciting the idea became.
First, it was just a few years before that the music industry had
tried the same sort of thing - putting such kiosks in retail shops.
Those kiosk had proven to be a huge failure. They broke down
constantly - as publicly pounded machines are known to do. The
maintenance fees were ridiculous. They also tied up customers.
Depending on how many of these (somewhat expensive) kiosks you had,
only one customer could use them at a time - and the process of
finding the software you want is time consuming. If they want to sit
at a machine and buy some software, they'll do it online at home. So,
it's a bit surprising to read this article in USA Today talking about
just such a software kiosk at CompUSA and suggesting that
it
will change the way software is sold. If anything, conditions for
these sorts of machines have gotten much worse since when I was
looking at them. The software retail business is much less appealing.
Fewer and fewer people buy boxed software products. Computers come
with much of what you need and you can download most everything else.
In the few instances where boxed software is needed, many people just
order online to have it shipped. The fact is that there are only a
very few boxed software products that sell - so the number of items
that will actually sell from such a kiosk are fairly limited - and
won't have very much margin. Furthermore, the trend is clear that an
increasing number of software applications are moving online to be
web-based applications, rather than local applications. I honestly
had to double check the date on the USA Today article to make sure it
wasn't from five or six years ago when lots of people were talking
about this same idea. Why they suddenly believe that everyone is
going to use such a device is beyond me.

The offer includes all brands of electronics, and products
