My little brother got a free palm from school...he's only in HS mind you. Every kid got one for enrolling in this brand new public school.
It's pretty cool, it has replaced all the novels he would have been checked out. Now they just download the book, can make notes for particular passages and stuff like that.
Teachers can also upload powerpoint slides and notes to all the students palms as well.
That said, he and his friends mostly use them for games rather than any actual school work.
