The iTouch and iPhone both have the traditional iPod functionality to listen to audio (music/podcasts/audiobooks/MP3 files), view photos, and watch videos (MPEG-4 files), but they also have on-board Internet applications, which include:
- Safari web browser - to search the web
- Mail reader - to read HTML, Word, Excel and PDF attachments
- YouTube player - to locate and view YouTube videos
- Google maps - to get directions and check traffic
The iPhone is a perfect m-learning device for the following reasons:
- Size of the screen
- Quality of the video
- Always-on functionality of the iPhone and wi-fi connectedness of iPod Touch
- Safari web browser provides access to great range of web apps
- Valuable device for listening to instructional and informational podcasts
- Ideal for the delivery of short bites of JIT content
- Well designed; good to look at and great to hold
