<p>On the list of things you should be worried about, your question is so unimportant that it doesn’t even deserve an answer. If it were me I’d take Apple’s attempt at boosting their sales on college campuses (oh look someone is using an ipad, I want one!), sell it, and use the profit to buy a textbook or laptop. Trust me, you won’t be using it to read books or take notes because it’s not really meant for that (I’ve seen students try and give up). Therefore it’s functionality is pretty much reduced to doing what your phone can do, thus making ownership of the device redundant.</p>
<p>It’s impossible to know what is going to happen. If the univ. actually pays for the ipads and gets some bulk discount, then the ipad 2 coming out will probably push the ipad 1 prices lower, so that’s what they’ll buy to save cost. I suspect though Apple gives them away for free (see first paragraph), and to them an ipad 2 is like giving away free tshirts with their logo on it, in which case they’ll give everyone ipad 2’s (god forbid in the Apple family if you don’t always have the latest generation!)</p>
