So I actually don't have an iPhone. What can I say, the perils of having a work phone linked to an exchange server that's used for 99% of my calls. However, my wife has one... so I get a lot of chances to play with her new tool. In a word... WOW! The ease of us is amazing. Like the Wii, the idea of gestures and movements to control a device is both natural and easy to learn. However, the biggest thing for me is what an incredible tool this will be in the classroom. I'm sure this is in the works for the true video iPod, but if Apple can drop the price by $200 or so, take out the phone capabilities (but still retain the wifi and bluetooth), then you'll have this portable device that can be used to surf the web, type notes, or enjoy multimedia on. As soon as Google Docs becomes compatible with Safari, then this new breed of iPod will have a more robust word processor than the Notes. I don't think it needs to stop there... partnerships with educational video sites like School Tube would give students access to more curriculum specific videos than the content on YouTube. What do you think? Ted

I agree. The iphone could help to further energize the one to one movement. However, I ran across an interesting article today and I'm pasting the link to it here. It is from eschool news. Something to think about!
