I was just reading about this in today's USA Today - a number of campuses have gone to this type of system. the article made the point that cellphones are so 'connected' to our person, that it's a quick way to get the information to those who've signed up for this program. While more and more campuses become centers of constant connect (via email and having computers in class with the students), the cell phone seems to be a better way to go. I've taken my computer with to class for graduate school, but for the times I can't get into my email, I believe that I would definitely get the message on my cell phone a lot quicker.
