Yet, a majority of vendors in the e-learning space as a whole, are just not doing it. The LMS space is a major culprit here, because there are vendors who offer mobile learning management systems, or m-learning solutions within their LMS. Oh, yeah, social learning. Tie it into their servers.

Remember, there’s a reason we all use an app on our smartphones to access email, check our calendar, search our contacts and watch media clips instead of trying to log into a server somewhere to accomplish those same tasks. Flash will still not be supported on iOS devices in 2011 but this fact will matter far less over time.
