(Nasdaq:PALM) is giving 228 of its new Palm(R) Treo(TM) 700wx smartphones running Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 software to students participating in the Microsoft Student Partner (MSP) program. Students will use the Treo 700wx, Sprint's first Windows Mobile-based Treo smartphone on the Sprint Power Vision(SM) Network, to promote the benefits of mobility and create greater awareness of the Palm Connected Campus, an initiative that supports mobile-computing environments where mobile computing connects students, faculty, IT, administrators and staff to each other, the campus network and personal information."</i><br /><br />Mobile computing in schooling environments may finally be getting somewhere. Apart from pocketing a Treo 700wx, student representatives enjoy unlimited voice and data, courtesy of Sprint. Now why aren't we seeing more of this elsewhere? ;)
