Japanese University Handing Out iPhones To Students

Japanese University Handing Out iPhones To Students

A university in Japan is handing out iPhones to its students so that the phone can be used to track them if they miss school. This is a brilliant idea…you know….because it is impossible to leave your phone in your locker at school, give it to a friend or simply leave it at home while you are skipping school.

The gadget will work as a tool for studies, but it also comes with GPS, a satellite navigation system that automatically checks on its whereabouts. The university plans to use that as a way to check attendance.

I heard about that on Tech-Update.. that's a brilliant idea to bust the people who play hookie all the time..

Would be useful at my school especially, since a lot of people want iPhones and a lot of them like to skip class
