Whenever school starts, one thing that most students have to address would be the requirements. This is both academically and the thing you will need. But would you believe that one university has made the iPhone/ iPod Touch a requirement for a certain course?

The University of Missouri’s journalism school has just added the iPhone/iPod Touch to the incoming Freshmen required supplies.

“Lectures are the worst possible learning format,” said Associate Dean Brian S. Brooks. “There’s been some research done that shows if a student can hear that lecture a second time, they retain three times as much of that lecture.” Brooks did note however that theoretically any MP3 player could be used. “You could use a Zune, for example,” he noted.

By having an Apple device however, it is easier to download the lectures, as it has a special section in the iTunes Store. “There are about 50 other schools across the country that are doing this,” he concluded.

The last we heard about Samsung’s P3 MP3 player was in January when it was showcased at CES. Well it seems Samsung has finally released the player and it’s not looking half bad.

Featuring a 3-inch touch screen and a capacity of 32GB, the Samsung’s P3 is shaping up to be a worthy opponent to Apple’s 32GB iPod touch.

Unfortunately the P3 is only available in Korea as of now with no North American release date announced. However, if you’re looking to pay a bit more than the 389,000 won ($291) that Samsung is asking, I’m sure you can find somewhere willing to import it.

LG Electronics offers a low cost phone that possesses the high quality features like QWERTY and touch screen features, then the LG Neon may be worth checking out. Also available through Rogers Wireless, the LG Neon is not supposed to compete against a BlackBerry or an iPhone. Instead, it’s a slightly beefier multimedia phone that happens to rock a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Texters will find that quite useful.

The most notable feature on the LG Neon TE365F is its slide-out QWERTY keyboard. This three-row keyboard will certainly come in handy for pumping out those text messages, instant messages, and emails. When you slide out the keyboard, the display automatically orients to landscape mode as well. The display also happens to be a touchscreen, but it comes with a few limitations that I’ll describe a little later in this review.

Other notable features on this multimedia and messaging-minded handset include tri-band (850/1800/1900) GSM/EDGE connectivity, Bluetooth, integrated MP3 player, FM radio, 2 megapixel camera (no flash), picture and video messaging, and an SMS conversation box. It’s nice to see a couple of notable basics like the MP3 player and digital camera, but there isn’t much here that’s going to floor you. At the same time, you have to realize that this phone only costs fifty bucks with contract. That’s pretty cheap.

Inside the box are the phone itself, a SIM card, charger, and supporting documentation. Even though there’s an MP3 player inside and the phone uses a proprietary connection, there is no provided headset.

The LG Neon TE365F QWERTY messaging phone is available through Fido for $50 with a qualifying two-year service agreement or for $175 outright.

Didn’t Samsung release a UMPC with the same name? Yes they did, but that hasn’t stopped Samsung from naming its new mp3 player as the Q2.  The Q2, though not a player that could change the PMP world, is pretty decent for a low-to-mid-end, no-frills player that is easy on the pocket (both in terms of cost and size).  With DNSe 3.0 sound enhancement to provide a great listening experience and 50 hours of battery life to keep you humming even on your longest bus route uninterrupted, the Samsung Q2 also has a 2.4-inch TFT display, FM radio/recorder, picture/text viewer, and voice recording with support for mp3, wma, ogg, flac, wmv, and MP4 formats.

The Samsung Q2 will be available in a choice of white or black colors at the end of this month for $99.99 (8GB) and $129.99 (16GB).
