Thanks for sharing.

This part of the article you reference is strikingly elucidative of the future of mobile devices (if not all Web-enabled devices) as we move toward an adoption of open standards:

“Though the operating system for the iPhone, iPod and iPad is proprietary, we strongly believe that all standards pertaining to the web should be open. Rather than use Flash, Apple has adopted HTML5, CSS and JavaScript – all open standards. Apple’s mobile devices all ship with high performance, low power implementations of these open standards. HTML5, the new web standard that has been adopted by Apple, Google and many others, lets web developers create advanced graphics, typography, animations and transitions without relying on third party browser plug-ins (like Flash). HTML5 is completely open and controlled by a standards committee, of which Apple is a member.”

What do you think is/will be the impact of such move toward open standards, technology and culture in Education?
