A word of advice, if you do end up supporting iPads set up the "Find My
iPad" feature. A professor had her personal iPad stolen and that was not
set up before hand. She had set up the Apple mail application and the
thief didn't know so we were able to see what IP address it had but it
never helped us retrieve it. Within a day it went from Massachusetts to
New York city and our Public Safety officers worked with some police in
that area but I think it came down to not wanting to waste several man
hours to track down something that costs that much.

Those that want a 3G model and want to add it to the University account, we order them for the user but is then property of the university and if the person leaves, they need to return it or make arrangements with their department/lab if they want to keep it - same as for cell phones.

All are invited to come including those that do not have anything yet and are looking to buy something. I will have ipads, ipod touch, android galaxy tablet, kindle, nook etc there and encouraging others to bring what they have and discuss the devices.
