Recently released was Apple’s educations software for iPad and iPhone called iTunes U and iBooks 2. These apps that are aimed at education focus on brining you textbooks and courses where ever you go.
As an example we look at chemistry, teachers can use the app to create courses for universities, students, teachers or anybody who wants to brush up on a subject. You can subscribe to many different courses that cover every major subject taught in college.
This app is not only for students but anyone who like to learn or wants to learn. All of the courses are free to subscribe to with the exception of some applications that are paid that go with the course.

There are roughly 17036 universities in the world. Apple has stated that about 1,000 universities have classes that use iTunes U. You do the math and it turns out only 5.8% of ALL universities in the WORLD has a class or two that uses iTunes U. Mind you, this service has been out for over 4 years. iTunes U is a cool program...for those students who have an iPad, Mac, or iPhone. If apple REALLY wants this service to have a shot, they need to DROP their iPad prices to compete with tablets like the Kindle Fire.
