Softbank, a Japanese cell phone service provider has begun offering college courses on the company's cell phones called "Cyber University". Currently, there is only one class is being offered titled "Mysteries of the Pyramids". The class if free however, students have to pay the standard phone costs. The company is planning on adding more classes in the near future. The one catch is that users must have a cell phone linked to Softbank's network. The cell phone course is somewhat stripped down from the PC version, utilizing streaming video and broadcast sound to relay the professor's voice. |  |
