Mobile Learning

So exciting!  According to the Pocket Picks blog, Opera Mini, which I think is the best mobile internet browser around, just got better. Its latest release includes features such as RSS feed bookmarking/reading, photo blogging, email, and support for secure sites (e.g. internet banking and online stores).

Not only is Opera Mini the best browser for mobiles that I’m aware of, but it’s available for nix. You can download it for free via SMS, direct to your phone, from the product home page: http://www.operamini.com/, or via WAP or PC download here.

Fans of Samsung phones will also be delighted to know that Samsung and Opera recently signed a deal that will see Opera providing the web browser for Samsung phones. With Samsung already making groundbreaking innovations in mobile phone design and component development, Samsung are certainly attracting my attention – if they keep up the pace, Nokia will have to pick up the pace to stay ahead in the game.

Mogopop is a free Web 2.0 site that allows you to create interactive movies, “sites” and books for iPods. It incorporates an easy-to-use drag-and-drop editing system, and a built-in iPod preview window so you can see how your content will look on your iPod, as you create it.

Here’s a video introduction to Mogopop:

Given that iPods are probably second only to mobile phones in terms of ownership, and provide rich media features and storage capacities not yet available in mobile phones, I’d say using iPods as a publishing platform might be very useful for a number of educators out there.
