Students make iPod cases
Students at the University of Minnessota's Carlson School of Management have created a new case for the iPod. WCCO.com reports that as part of a class, Professor Frank Beil asked the students to develop and operate their own business. Out of seven competing groups one entrenprenurial team was chosen to operate its idea, uSuits, which provides protective casings for iPods, reportedly selling them at the University's book store and the Mall of America's College Store. Adding to the growing influence of iPods in universities, the students are looking to sell the uSuits with school logos from all over America eventually, having sold 30 so far. According to WCCO.com, the money from the business will be going to non-profit organizations.
