How Your Son or Daughter Can Get an iPad for Free

In case you've missed all the hoopla, the Apple (AAPL) iPad will be released this Saturday at an Apple store near you for only $499.

The accessories are already on sale, such as the CaseCrown Faux Suede Zip Sleeve Case, the TrendyDigital WaterGuard Waterproof Case, the MiniSuit Apple iPad skin case, and the Apple Ipad Screen Protector.

Some colleges are really jumping on the bandwagon with the iPad, such as Seton Hill University, which is giving them out for free to every student this Fall, along with a free MacBook! Who says it doesn't pay to go to college.
