Nice job, guys! We’re generally in agreement all around except for the following:
Mobile Landscape #6 – I think “abandon” is too strong a word; demand will definitely drop off but there are many applications that can’t be easily re-factored as mobile “apps” that run fine on a netbook for far less $$ than a notebook
Mobile Landscape #8 – Mobile web is great where you don’t need enterprise-grade security and encryption and you’re not trying to access too many on-device feature sets; in that case, the mobile app is still the better choice for a few years.
Mobile Landscape #11 – All the cross platform tool kits will need to mature a lot to make them viable for enterprise-grade applications; in reality, 80% of it working is just not 100% of it working.
Mobile Learning Predictions #5 – Flash doesn’t seem like its coming to BlackBerry handhelds any time soon and will likely never be supported on older/legacy devices that can’t run the newer BBOS v6 or similar. Thus, Flash’s impact will largely be on NEWER Android devices, Nokia devices (but no enterprise uses those in NA) and WinPho7 at some point in the future. Thankfully, the tools that output Flash will also start to output HTML5-compatible media oriented content making it a moot point IMHO.
Great work, guys!

Interesting stuff. I would like to see more examples of actual mobile-learning implementations. What’s working, what’s not? There’s alot of hype around mobile learning but who’s actually engaging in it with any measurable success?
We’ll have some case studies coming shortly. Stay tuned and keep visiting our site for updates!
