At ACU - the first university in the nation to provide these cutting-edge media devices to its incoming class - freshmen will use the iPhones or iPod Touches to receive homework alerts, answer in-class surveys and quizzes, get directions to their professors' offices, and check their meal and account balances - among more than 15 other useful web applications already developed, said ACU Chief Information Officer Kevin Roberts.

If getting directions to a professor's office made the cut for a 'useful' application then I can't wait to hear what those other elusive 15 applications can do.
Maybe they have GPS and alarms will go off in a hidden control center if a male and female are too close to each other.
dang I picked the wrong school!
I heard about this. I also heard that they are cutting faculty jobs due to a major budget crisis. I wonder if the two are related in anyway? (that reads much more sacrastically than it is intended)
