As described in ST#86622, the SCS has acquired 60 mobile devices, as shown below. Ongoing support and maintenance of this set of devices is described in ST#90774. The 2013 project is documented at https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/twiki/view/CF/ThinkingApe2013.

The agreement for 2012 with CS Executive was that we would keep a "few" of each back for use by faculty and staff, as replacement spares, etc. E.g. CSCF staff have used them to go to conferences (should be in the checkout state in inventory). So, others (faculty, grad, staff) should contact the CS Executive for permission to use the devices, most likely the Associate Director of the School, or the Director of Infrastructure.

Devices shown in "dc2560g" are on the USG storage shelving. Also stored there is a box of parts (ear-buds and documents).

The non-functioning sim card required to activate the iPhones (Apple won't activate the phone without one) is stored in the CSCF password vault on the top shelf (in a small ziploc bag).

These phones are current in use by CSCF for inventory maintenance:
