Advising Students While on the Go

[From Pam from Baltimore, MD.] One of the most attractive features of the iPhone is the $19.99 email and web package it comes with. The affordability of its data plan, along with its terrific handling of email and attachments, allows me to get more done in my day. Rather than being tied to my office to answer students' questions or even being tied to my Powerbook at home, I can run errands and be virtually anywhere and still hear from and respond to students. Despite the great consumer appeal of the iPhone, it is also a wonderful business tool.
