UC San Diego Gets an iPhone App

Ace! NewsFlash

The University of California at San Diego is the most recent college to make its way onto student’s iPhones. A free iPhone application created by the university offers an interactive map of the college’s campus, including where particular classes are located; up-to-the-minute college sports scores; and the ability to call, text, or e-mail students and faculty and staff members. A similar application is being created for the Blackberry.

While the university says this is the first iPhone application created at a public university, an unofficial iPhone application was created by students at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Duke and Stanford Universities offer similar applications, and several other universities have created cellphone programs to improve student safety and crack down on attendance.
