Yale Medical Students Get iPads

TUAW is reporting that medical students at Yale are all being issued iPads in an effort to reduce printing costs.

The program will distribute 520 iPads. If that sounds expensive, consider this: Dean Schwartz notes that the school spends about US$100,000 per year to copy, collate and distribute course materials. So far, he's spent about $600,000 on the iPad program. Within a few years, Schwartz notes, money saved on printing costs will pay for the initiative.

Anybody else using electronic distribution of materials to reduce photocopying costs?

    Not only will they save money, but they are saving trees. I would love if my school bought me one!
