Consider that by then processors will be on the 11 nm node (if Intel's roadmap works out), and then day tablets should be as powerful as our current day desktops. It'd be like a university handing out those original RAZR flip phones to an incoming class this year, and saying "hey, we're preparing you for the future!"

Giving tablets for text books is one thing, but giving students an ancient phone? How does that do anything constructive or make sense? And it sure isn't going to offer 24/7 connectivity to MS Office as they are trying to imply. The students will all already have a smartphone most likely anyways, so why force them to pay more in their tuition for this? And who will pay for the phone's plan? This is one of those "sounds great in our head" ideas, but not so much in reality.
