CNET has a great story about how college campuses are (and have been) the test beds for new technologies and cites examples like Duke University giving away iPods to incoming freshman. The article questions whether this is going too far and making students into "marketing guinea pigs." The story also explores the growing prevalence of wireless networking on campuses (with a nice chart) and the inherent security risks.
