NRC policy prohibits the providing of mobile devices to researchers (they are reserved for management and business development officers) so I cannot pursue the links sent to me regarding mobile learning. But it's no surprise to see products like this aimed directly at the iPhone market. Some of the ad content is ridiculous (who thought it would be a good idea to use the word 'sizzle'?) but the use of a blog is a good idea. There's a portal - but you have to sign in. I expect that, were I able to try this stuff out, I would be frustrated by the access controls imposed by the hardware. The phone isn't the computer; the manufacturer controls the hardware and the operating system, which means they control the transactions.
