Just found this article on AppleInsider:

Apple holds big plans for 'iPhone University' on college campuses:

You can follow a link from the article to this page:

Interesting video on the 2nd link, showing how an "average" freshman
student at the university could use an iPhone as a "lifeline" to the
university. For such uses as: interactive maps, class schedule, ebooks for
classes, class podcasts, sms messages from teachers, links to
facebook/myspace, etc...

The video was kinda cheesy at times, but overall, a powerful concept. I
remember the stress and agony of being a freshman at university, not
knowing anyone, and not knowing where anything was. I can imagine this
would seem second-nature for a modern freshman, already used to sms'ing
their friends and utilizing a multitude of social networking options.
