Inside Higher Ed reports that Seton Hill University will be the first to give Apple iPads to all its students.

A small Catholic liberal arts college in Greensburg, PA, Seton Hill’s Mac-centric Griffin Technology Advantage Program, will also give a 13-inch MacBook to each of its incoming freshmen.

I’ve been wondering which university would be first with the iPad – and how long it will take the text book publishers to figure out the economics of the iPad for the college student market.

The first question’s answered and the second will be soon.
