Consumers with an Apple iPhone 3G or mobile broadband connection could soon be able to treat themselves to an Oxbridge education, according to reports.

The BBC states that Apple is to make a number of lectures from Oxford and Cambridge University professors and academics available on its iTunes service.

It is reported Cambridge has stated its intention to bring the work of a number of its Nobel prize-winning lecturers to the project and Oxford will offer around 150 hours of video and audio lectures from "world-leading thinkers".

Apple iPhone 3G users or mobile broadband customers with iTunes installed on their PC or laptop can expect a wide selection of subjects to be tackled by the new service.

Historian David Starkey, the St John's College choir and former chief economist of the World Bank, Joseph Stiglitz, will be among the guest contributors.

Other services on the iTunes service include downloadable music, podcasts and video - with Apple adding HBO shows such as Sex And The City and The Sopranos earlier this year.
