The new update in the Apple’s Developer Program License Agreement has once again broken Adobe’s hopes of running Flash based apps on the iPhone and iPad.

LMS Products of the Year 2010. A lot of great products out there this year, new updates and latest versions; new companies, new services and just some real innovation. The product is Flash based, which is nice, but lack of mobile optimization for the iPad. These standout to me. Categories. Saba does a good job as well.

It was within these comments, that afterwords, I decided to expand a bit plus identify other areas that I see, LMS vendors must explore – which they have not yet done so, to re-energize themselves. Thus, the LMS vendors are creating a Bogeyman – their own bogeyman, and it does not have to be that way. Perpetuating the Myth.

As I write on my iPad, thoughts swirl abound. With all these vendors talking about their solution and its capabilities on mobile devices, it should be easy to find an app for that. Regardless if the vendor is m-learning specific, content authoring tool, LMS, web conferencing or a hybrid. It shouldn’t matter. Even better.

Ordinarily, I don’t even look at vendor products when offered free trials. First, it was an iPad app supporting design. The choice of making it an iPad app is interesting and understandable. I like to remain unbiased, and not give free advice. However, two things interested me about this particular offer.

The people who suffer the most from this contradiction are the consumers and a vast majority of vendors. If you listen to content authoring tool vendors who have added the capability of HTML5 it is easy to misunderstand what some are saying is not what you assume to be true. HTML5 or is it? That cost is in the pitch of HTML5.

While the product isn't revolutionary and at times leaves more to be desired, with a $99 price tag, Snap deserves a closer look. However, Snap isn't the first product of its kind, and other vendors have had comparable software on the market for some time. In short, Snap-published content won't run on the iPhone or iPad.

It is truly amazing on how vendors seem to think lots of stuff on the page, is the way to go and navigation is just a requirement. Why vendors still think this is not needed or used, makes no sense. This is only an add on option, so if you have another vendor you use, you can without having to purchase the Lectora option.

The ability to record audio in real time or post time makes a lot of sense and eliminates the need for using Audacity (albeit it is a wonderful and free product). There are more vendors who do not offer the ability to post – i.e. add audio afterwards it is quite amazing.
