Aoyama Gakuin University then you will have a free iPhone thrown at you. Softbank Mobile, Japan’s only cellphone operator dealing with iPhone 3G, and Aoyama Gakuin University announced on Friday that they would distribute the handset to all students studying at the university’s school of social informatics. The students are allowed to use it for attendance reporting, lecture podcasting and having online examination. When a student submits his/her class attending to the university’s office with the iPhone 3G, it attaches GPS-based location data and prevents answering the roll call for another to get a credit. The university will also pay for the basic charges for the phone but students will have to pay when they start downloading more than a few MB per month. The photos below show an example of how the iPhone will be used at the university. As for the main photo in this post - from the iPhone launch in Japan at Harajuku - a video of the queues below.
