University of Southern Miss plans to offer 1,000 Galaxy Tab 10.1 units to students

Well, if you happen to be a student participating in the Honors College pilot program over at the University of Southern Mississippi, then you might be one of the lucky ones to snag a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Specifically, the school purchased 1,000 Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 units in the hopes of enhancing access the education of its students.
Naturally, there are plenty of case uses for the tablet, but they’re going to be preloaded with Blackboard Mobile, which intricately incorporates academic aspects to the tablet – like giving students and professors access to e-textbooks, grades, schedules, emergency notifications, and much more.
Indeed, the pilot program is aiming to revolutionize the total college experience, but as we all know, some might find the tablet as the perfect companion for killing some time.

Hey this is further proof that tablets are becoming main stream. Maybe when my kid goes to school everything will be done with a tablet. I looks like the day of the text book is coming to an end!

Uhh, this is just more reason for kids to waste their parents' hard earned cash playing more Angry Birds while in class.

As a college student I would love a free tablet. I am in a honors college. Maybe i should transfer haha. Those lucky ducks. Then again i can't imagine how it would help me academically. I could play some serious angry birds and multitask on Facebook while in organic chem. Sounds pretty good to me.

I'm not against tablets, they really should've chosen the Asus Transformer, it comes with a keyboard dock/battery.
When I was in college, I had to type a ton of papers, try typing a term paper on a virtual keyboard, I don't care if it's an iPutz or Android, it's gonna suck if you don't have a physical keyboard.
While other tablet do have keyboard accessories, none as as tightly integrated and useful as the Asus Transformer keyboard / battery dock.

Yeah i see what youre saying bout the typing but don't forget you can easily get a bluetooth keyboard and its very possible its a lot cheaper than the keyboard dock although having extra battery life and a stand is nice lol
