The iPhone Could Be The Ultimate Study Machine

January 18, 2009 · No Comments




TechCrunch has this great article up on the state of education apps for the iPhone platform:

With gigabytes of storage, dimensions comparable to traditional note cards, and a full color screen, the iPhone is the ultimate study companion. And, unlike many of its smartphone competitors, the iPhone and iPod Touch have huge appeal for the younger crowds that generally flock to study materials.

Unfortunately the current state of the ‘Education‘ section of the App Store leaves something to be desired – many of the top apps are poorly designed, and some of the best-selling applications in both the ‘paid’ and ‘free’ sections have fewer than 100 total reviews. I blame this mostly on a general lack of awareness.

 

 

Its well worth a read if you’re experimenting with the iPhone and learning opportunities – plus the article has spawned a long and growing list of comments on the subject – head over and add your opinion!
