Not to be outdone by the other religious college‘s move to entice new students with a free iPhone, Oklahoma Christian University is now offering incoming freshman a new Apple MacBook and a choice between an iPhone or iPod Touch (presumably for those that don’t want to activate the iPhone and pay for service – cough, jailbreak/unlock, cough).
Like the other iPhone offering, this gimmick new initiative is being supported by Apple under the auspices of integrating technology with higher-education. Right, we’re sure they chose to give students a high-profile Apple iPhone because it was the perfect device to bring high-technology to their new student body – it had nothing to do with attracting more new students.
New students attending the New Student Orientation programs will be treated to a new Apple MacBook and that hype-attracting iPhone. If you want a free MacBook and iPhone, may we suggest you spend a few years at Oklahoma Christian University?
