Duke University and Free iPods

I agree with Duke University that podcasting can be very useful in education, however giving students free iPods is a bit much. How do they know that the students don't already have one and post the university iPod on eBey. This issue is not covered in Duke's evaluation report, however they do cover the what and why in the report.
One thing I defiantly see for iPods in downloadable textbooks. I student goes to the bookstore and pays $150 for a book they can't resale, but as an ebook it might only cost $20.
The downloadable resources are incredible, you can even get sparknotes, vangonotes and SAT vocab builder!
