Apple welcomes students to iTunes U
I think it is great they finally organized it, I have place links to Berkley and other Universities
free academic downloads for your iPod or MP3 player. The tongue in check humor from the article
I will highlight.


Apple welcomes students to iTunes U


“iTunes U makes it easy for anyone to access amazing educational material from many of the country’s most respected colleges and universities,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s vice president of iTunes. “Education is a lifelong pursuit and we’re pleased to give everyone the ability to download lectures, speeches and other academic content for free.”

Working with universities in the US and Canada, 16 institutions are currently featured. This includes Duke, MIT, Stanford, and Berkeley, with each college creating its own "university" within the iTunes Store. While educational material is featured, video and audio podcasts also cover other aspects of campus life, such as athletic events and institution-centric material. Going to the Texas A&M University section, one can download podcasts from the George Bush Presidential Library Center, though sadly there is no accompanying celebrity playlist by the 41st President of the United States.

1. I have the Geography lectures from Stanford. It should help
me sleep, just like I did back in my college days.
