In-Flight Mobile

Singapore Air now provide in-flight facilities for accessing your mobile content and devices on their in-seat AV centres - even in economy class! On certain flights there is even a special iPod/iPhone remote cable available - very nice. Also powerpoints in-seat for laptops, but the AV Centre allows editing of Office documents from a Flash-drive directly using the text-entry on the console controller!

"The introduction of the iPhone 3G in July and Apple’s expansion
into many more countries helped propel the vendor to second place
globally, taking it above RIM in the quarter and resulting in higher
shipments than for all the Microsoft-based smart phones combined."

Smartphones & the future of Music Sales

NZHerald article on future delivery of music – via smartphones!

Schweizer, K. (2009, January 24). Musicians turn to tech-savvy audience: Smartphones and the internet prove popular with both artisits and fans. Weekend Herald, p. C5.

"Most music will eventually be accessed over smartphones such as Apple's iPhone and Research In Motion's BlackBerry, said Terry McBride, who manages Sarah McLachlan and Avril Lavigne."

"The smartphone is changing the music industry because of its platform and I predict most consumption of music will be through a smartphone in the future," McBride said in Cannes.

Some Mobile Learning Options:

1. Eee PC 901,
2. Nokia N95 with bluetooth folding keyboard,
3. Nokia Xpressmedia 5800,
4. Nokia E90,
5. 3M MPro110 pico projector
6. Apple iPhone (not shown)
7. Palm Pre (not yet released)
8. Nokia N97 (not yet released)

You may notice an absence of windows mobile or Blackberry devices - this is by choice ;-) . I'm interested in devices that students will want to own and use, rather than 'business' focused devices.
