iTunes U comes to the iTunes Store
Along with iTunes Plus and DRMless tracks Apple also announced that iTunes U will now be available via the iTunes Store for everyone. iTunes U started a year and a half ago as a pilot program at Stanford which put some lectures online with iTunes. Apple and Stanford then created a custom iTunes interface for use at Stanford and the rest is history.
Now the general public will have access to materials from top rated universities, and best of all it is free. As with the other iTunes announcements today, this isn't available in the iTunes Store just yet, but I have a feeling we'll see it soon.
Update: iTunes U lives [iTunes link].

I tried searching "Stanford" using the advanced search, and noticed that you can access to the iTunes U material, even if it isn't appeared on the main page of the store!

This should make the daily commute a little more educational. I approve.

I am more than a little shocked to see this available in the UK, at least from the direct link provided by Brian in comment 2

Oh, Apple are linking directly to the iTunes store section for iTunes U from their “iTunes U - Students” section on apple.com:

One of the cooler implementations of iTunes U:

It allows kids that go abroad with the company to download custom content specifically tailored to their destinations!
It takes museum walking tours to a whole new level.
Disclaimer: I used to work for them and helped launch it.
