Just a quick narrative of how the project came about.
Tackle what you know will be a benefit
This project came about by accident. It was never our attention to develop a Moodle/iPhone/iPod solution from the start. Actually, we were just happy working on a continued medical education for HCWs that previously did not have access to updated learning material. But as we got feedback from the HCWs in the field, we saw the need to adapt Moodle to enable complete access for the iPhone. The iPhone did work with the MLE, but it did not allow access to all the interactive features of Moodle. So we only took action as it had a clear purpose that could benefit our learner target group.
Standing on the shoulders of giants
The coding got developed by looking at what was already there, and thinking about what would be relevant to have.
Trust the world and its communities
Whenever we were confronted with a problem, it was posted on one of the mobile Moodle forums, so everyone could think collaboratively. An open community that can give support while developing any type of application is a strong benefit for any endeavor.
Move forward starting with little steps

Moodle and iPhone update: the movie: "For those wanting to see a glimpse of the interaction behind the application that allows the iPhone (or iPod) to access Moodle. Look at this uploaded movie:
In the meantime the iPhone/Moodle platform is getting into shape:

Things moving on several fronts: getting proposals out, checking codes, making coding manuals (thank you very much Beto!).

We are using Twitter to communicate between New Zealand, Ireland and Chile for a collaborative Product design student project.
Students have setup Twitter accounts and begun 'tweeting', with their Lecturers also using Twitter to respond, guide and inform their students during the project.
Serendipitously, an online PODCast show host has chosen one of our students at random to get them to the top of the twitter followed list and make them famous!
Lisa's "I hate technology" tweet caought the PODCast show hosts eye and recommended all his listeners follow her on Twitter. 24 hours later she has over 8600 followers. The goal is to get more than 15000 followers in a week, and one of Lisa's follows (at random) will win an Apple iPod from Leo Laporte, as will Lisa herself!

Smartphones as a category grew fast in the last quarter of 2009, with 53.8 million units sold, a 41.1% increase compared to the same period in 2008. Looking at individual platforms, it's obvious that this growth came largely from iPhones and Android-based devices, as iPhone OS nearly doubled its market share, jumping from 8.2% in 2008 to 14.4% in 2009, while Android improved from meager 0.5% in 2008 to 3.9% in 2009.
Yes, Symbian is still on top, but it dropped from 52.4% to 46.9% market share, while its nearest competitor, RIM, grew from 16.6% to 19.9%. Another big loser is Windows Mobile, which dropped from 11.8% to 8.7% market share in 2009, and this trend will probably continue at least until we see the first Windows Phone 7 based devices.
As far as the entire mobile market is concerned, worldwide mobile phone sales to end users totalled 1.211 billion units in 2009, which is a 0.9 per cent decline compared to 2008.
The top five mobile vendors lost some market share to other vendors, with their combined share dropping from 79.7 in 2008 to 75.3% in 2009. Their order, however, is unchanged: Nokia sits on top with 36.4% share, followed by Samsung, LG, Motorola and Sony Ericsson.

Despite expectations that Ovi Maps 3.3 with free navigation would hit the Nokia N97 in a firmware update, it has popped up on Software Update (in the Applications folder) anyway as a 8MB download. Obviously, it's not recommended if you're starting off with less than about 30MB of free space on disk C: - in which case, you're better off waiting for it in a firmware release. Do please comment if you spot this for another Nokia phone that wasn't previously covered!
Nokia today announced the X6 16GB device. The X6 16GB comes in a range of new colours: black, white, white with pink highlights and white with yellow highlights. Compared to original X6 there's no Comes with Music included and the internal memory has dropped from 32 GB to 16 GB. The X6 will be available in shops this quarter. Read on for further details.
The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic firmware v40.0.005. The new firmware finally adds kinetic scrolling to the 5800, an improved homescreen, and the keyboard now automatically switches between QWERTY and T9 when you rotate the display.
