Now if only we could get Solitaire on the iPhone or iPod Touch without a jailbreak, all those Oklahoma Christian College students would be able to be productive!


Pardon my ignorance, but why that college in particular? Did I miss a news story somewhere? ;) Mon, 03 Mar 2008 21:20:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (anevilyak) Comments RE[2]: iPhone http://osnews.com/thread?303217 http://osnews.com/thread?303217 It was on Engadget over the weekend, they are rolling out iPhones, iPod Touches, and MacBooks to new students this year. Where was this trend when I was in college?

Well, the iPhone doesn't do Solitaire without jailbreak, and Linux PDAs' batteries don't last long enough to sit through one lecture (2hrs).

So yeah, Windows it is. Tue, 04 Mar 2008 00:13:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Thom_Holwerda) Comments Blasphemy http://osnews.com/thread?303235 http://osnews.com/thread?303235 Blasphemy!! Bejeweled is the perfect anytime/anywhere pda app ;) Tue, 04 Mar 2008 00:18:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (andreibosco) Comments RE[2]: iPhone http://osnews.com/thread?303294 http://osnews.com/thread?303294 It seems that, in response to Microsoft buying the French Education system, Apple have bought OCC. Seeing as about 60% of the content on http://www.oc.edu/ is dedicated to apple ;) .

And for some reason, you won't get bored after playing it for years.

I don't need no windows for that. And I also check my email, watch youtube videos (and not the mobile ones, either) with kinoma, listen to internet radio, and surf the web, etc. I also use SSH and VNC.

But for me yahtzee is number one (it's actually called yahdice on the palm).

I think you can also make phone calls... Tue, 04 Mar 2008 22:39:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (fretinator) Comments Sooo... http://osnews.com/thread?303439 http://osnews.com/thread?303439 Any Windows Mobile PDA/phone?

My father uses his PDA mainly as GPS/navigation system but I see him playing Solitare on it all the time. And he is lecturer at a university ;) Wed, 05 Mar 2008 00:54:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (miscz) Comments Grad students http://osnews.com/thread?303447 http://osnews.com/thread?303447 This comic cracks me up, because it's so, so true: http://www.phdcomics.com/comics/archive/phd031305s.gif Wed, 05 Mar 2008 02:00:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (samad) Comments =/ http://osnews.com/thread?303451 http://osnews.com/thread?303451 Mine would have had Bejeweled... damned addictive that...
