One of the things that makes the iPod so cool is tha tit can do stuff other than store and play music. It has games,a calendar, a photo viewer... hang on, what's this... a notes function?! Indeed, iPods can store text as well, as schoolkids have known for quite some time, no doubt.
It looks like the party's over, though,a s the grown-ups have caught on to the cheating-on-tests potential of the ubiquitous iPod.
A school in Meridian, Idaho is banning students from taking iPods into exams because two kids were overheard discussing how to use them to cheat.iPods, or other MP3 players, can, in theory, be loaded with recordings of possible exam answers or written notes can be included as lyric files. Kids at some Californian schools have already been caught with incriminating notes on their music players.
