The Apple iPhone and the Amazon Kindle have dramatically changed the way we view the mobile web and electronic or e-books. Traditionally, web browsing on mobile devices has been clumsy and unsatisfying. The iPhone has changed all of that, providing a web browsing experience that approaches the desktop computer. Likewise, the Amazon Kindle has created a platform for e-books that is simple, intuitive and satisfying to the user. In this presentation, we will discuss how these two devices, along with the iPhone software development Kit (SDK) will forever transform mobile teaching and learning.

Presenters will detail what is different about these devices and how they are significant. These details will be highlighted with hands demonstrations and examples. we will lead a discussion of how these devices will transform mobile learning and how the SDK will permit the rapid creation of mobile teaching and learning applications.
