"Ten years ago to this very week, Steve Jobs killed Apple. Or he began to take apart many of the projects and organization that many inside and outside the company thought of as Apple's value to the computing industry. This event was the announcement of the company's infamous spring 1997 reorganization, which continued step-by-step throughout the spring. For the company's long-suffering developers and ISVs, push came to shove at the annual WWDC, where Steve Jobs revealed his plans for Apple's future direction. Today, with the iPod-influenced haze over of recent Apple history as well as the success of Apple's retail strategy and the Intel-Macintosh transition, we forget that some of that 'future' talked up in 1997 never happened."

Students don't need a fast computer. Someone gave me a 2001 iBook. Even though the HD is finally going, the 6+ hour battery lets me type my notes and do homework.
As a former IT person, I would have loved to have a small device with a minimal interface(maybe CMD only, like linux!) that would let me do all my diagnostic stuff, and test networks etc.
All that to say this: using the iPhone as multiple Devices (desktop, pda, dock to make a laptop, etc.) is usefull. You would be surprised how much you can do with a 640 mb HD! I used one up till a few months ago (poor college student
