Kaplan Introduces SAT Prep for iPod, High-School Kids Everywhere Groan

It's funny when you see companies like Kaplan and all promoting silly materials that teens are never going to use. This is like the handheld that Princeton Review came out with. A few out-of-touch parents may buy it, but it doesn't help students. I'd keep my eyes on Prepme - their online program is getting a lot of traction and its run by college students I think? I just used their free diagnostic so far but will probably sign up when I convince my parents to pay.

They've been doing this for the Bar Exam for a couple of years, I think. You lease an iPod from them and listen to whichever state you like. I have a couple friends doing it, and they say it's great.

Downloading videos from Bittorrent: $0

Taking your SAT set to music. Priceless.

Is there anything the iPod can not do?
