 A new 414-page book has been released or free download. The book entitled "Innovative Mobile Learning: Techniques and Technologies" is a collection of chapters from across the world, edited by  Hokyoung Ryu and David Parsons from  Massey University, New Zealan.

"The aim of Innovative Mobile Learning: Techniques and Technologies is to introduce the reader to the current directions of mobile learning (a.k.a., m-learning). More precisely, it is about providing a comprehensive survey of mobile learning research and projects that both academics and educational practitioners may utilize in their work."

I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but wanted to let you know about it.  You can download your copy .

Nearly every blog and publication has covered the news on the iPhone 3G. Most of the rumors we had heard were true and indeed there are some impressive improvements, plus a reduction in price.
