The New York Times has an interesting article on iPod Touch and iPhones on university campuses this Fall session. You will have to get past the advertisement to see it at this link.
When new technologies challenge existing norms, we see interesting ideas and application emerge. Some compete against others. Some ideas flourish and evolve in transformative and empowering ways. Overall, I think we will see huge potential for learning develop in the emerging technologies surrounding iPod Touch and iPhone. We just have to get beyond the adolescent exploration and trial and error phase of the implementation cycle—the one we seem to still be in with the internet and Web 2.0.
