It has been a very busy Fall for mobile learning. We are making plans to upgrade this site and add some new features, but want to wait until the new Joomla is released (hopefully very soon now). We'd love to hear what else would make this a valuable site for those interested in mobile learning.
Some recent happenings of interest include:
 T-Mobile is offering one year of complimentary T-Mobile HotSpot service to those who participate in the Give One Get One campaign to put laptops into the hands of children in the developing world. This service is normally $29.99 per month with a 12-month commitment. From Nov. 12 to Nov. 26, 2007 – people can donate $399 for two laptops. One laptop will be given to a child in the developing world. The other laptop will be sent to the donor along with information on how to activate the one year of complimentary T-Mobile HotSpot service. More information is available at http://www.laptopgiving.org/ and http://hotspot.t-mobile.com .
 Philippe Kahn's new company Fullpower began to come out of stealth mode with some very exciting technology. (Philippe is the mathematician who originally started Borland, invented the camera phone and several other accomplishments.) Philippe and his wife, Sonya, have been working on this for the past 5 years and have over 50 partners in the life sciences area. They appear to have to complete solution for the future. From their web site "The Fullpower inference engine is the breakthrough technology that makes it all happen. Fullpower’s all-in-one complete solution allows multiple applications to concurrently take advantage of motion, imaging, and other sensors such as proximity, ambient light, pressure, compass, GPS, heart rate, and blood glucose. The Fullpower solution is designed to minimize integration efforts for the device manufacturer and maximize benefits to the end-user." Definitely a site |

 Although there are currently no specific mobile learning examples, the site MOOOBL.com from Spain has an emulator to view various WAP sites. These examples can give mlearning developers some ideas for content creation for smaller screens.
Choose from the "Select a WAP site" drop down and use the buttons on the Nokia phone skin to navigate. I found the various Operator Portals and the Seat Guru site to be interesting examples. |

 Yes, I was one of the "crazies" in line on Friday for the iPhone. I did get one, plus something I didn't want -- a bad sunburn (despite use of sun cream and an umbrella.)
Over the weekend I experimented with the new device and for the most part do like what I see. However, missing for corporate adoption is integration with Exchange, and alternate activation options than through iTunes which most corporations do not allow. For learning, we are going to want Flash support, which is rumored to be coming.
The device is very easy to use with a fun interface. At mLearnopedia we will experment with various learning examples and report our findings.
The sunburn is fading, but I am growing more attached to the iPhone. Oh yes, did I mention that it also makes and receives phone calls? |

 A new site ShareIdeas.org : Mobile Knowledge for Social Change was just launched for NGOs with the support of Nokia and Vodaphone. Although not specifically for m-learning, there are case studies about civic engagement, economic empowerment, education, environment, health and safety and humanitarian relief.
It definitely is a wiki site which I plan to follow. The about page says: ShareIdeas.org is an online community and a wiki for sharing ideas on how to use mobile communications for social and environmental benefits.
ShareIdeas.org was created with support from Nokia and Vodafone, but belongs to the growing global network of individuals and organizations that use this virtual gathering place to communicate - and collaborate.
