Mobile Learning and the demise of the PDA
Written by Graham Brown-Martin on Wednesday, 15 August 2007
pda-rip2.jpgThe death of the Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) has been reported more times than sightings of Lord Lucan. Such reports usually provoke a flurry of debate on Internet forums and research lists. I have found myself defending the survival of the humble PDA but it often came down to a debate over semantics. The term “PDA” will always be associated with the simple personal information managers, i.e. digital diaries and phone books, from which they originated. Even when PDAs started to be called “Pocket PC’s” they were intended to be devices to augment an existing PC as opposed to being fully fledged standalone devices. (2) Leave a Comment

Learning in the Air
Written by Elizabeth Hartnoll-Young on Saturday, 17 March 2007
boeing_777.jpgOn New Years’ Day I had the good fortune to travel in a new Boeing 777-300ER commissioned by Singapore Airlines. The 13 hour flight from Singapore to Milan gave me plenty of time to explore the latest design and technology developments.

As I passed through business class, I couldn’t help but notice the extra wide seats, with their 15 inch personal display screens. Economy class seats, at 48 cm, are also noticeably wider than usual and have been redesigned to be a little thinner, allowing more legroom. The ‘dashboard’ here is also up to the minute, with the handset in front rather than in the arm rest, and slots for USB, computer etc, next to the screen. The reading light shines from below the screen, so is less intrusive for those passengers trying to sleep.
