And you always thought iPods were just for listening to your favorite tunes? They're also for cheating, at least according to some school administrators. Many US schools have banned iPods and other digital music players from exams. In Idaho, Mountain View High School principal Aaron Maybon says the students come up with "new and creative ways to cheat pretty fast."

The music players can be used to record audio answers to tests, or crib sheet can be displayed as the text of song lyrics.
