I absolutely LOVE my iPhone for school. A few things I do with it:
-FTP and WebDAV... Each class period I sync the network Apps folder to my iPhone. I always have the current versions on the phone.
-The iPhone natively supports Office document including Words new docx format, Excel and Powerpoint. It also supports PDF files and most image files. I can study the instructors lecture notes on my phone anywhere I go.
-I have Netters Anatomy Flashcards on my iPhone. All of the Netters products are currently available including Histo, Anatomy, Neuro, etc.
-I have a generic flashcard program that I can create my own virtual flashcards to study at whim. It can also sync to a flashcard repository site on the web that has thousands of flashcard sets free to download.
-In October, Mosby's NCLEX review flashcards are scheduled to be available for purchase on the iPhone and iPod Touch.
-The built in calculator is a a complete scientific calculator.
-I use Epocrates locally on the phone.
-I use Davis drug book on the iPhone. Saves me from toting one more book AND it's more current then the print version.
-I have a complete spanish dictionary for my Spanish class.
-I get my personal email, my work related Rossvet Exchange email, and my IUON email all to my iPhone.
-I have all of the ERI audio available for download on my iPhone so that I can review it anywhere.
There is more but those are some highlights. I strongly recommend getting one.

This device could really come in handy, in the age of paperless Pt. Mx. Problem may lie in the difficulty of typing in additional entries onto their charts.
