"One day, as many as 3 billion people will have cell phones, and they are not all going to have PCs. The mobile phone will become their digital life.”

- Jess Hawkins, inventor of the Palm Pilot

In 2005, most of your employees have some type of handheld computer, hybrid mobile phone/PDA (smart phone) or PDA. These technologies represent more than convenient connectivity: they mean business transformation. Although most mobile devices are aimed at business users and are marketed primarily as business communications devices, Palatine is taking the mobile revolution further. Palatine has built their customized project management and sales product training courseware on the latest Nokia 6680. Targeted users for our mobile learning solutions include the healthcare professional, the retail salesperson in a large retail chain, the driver of a delivery truck, the machinist on the shop floor, the engineer in the field or the pharmaceutical sales representative. Our mobile training solutions exist as offline courses that can be downloaded to a user’s device, but soon we will offer customized learning materials accessible online via a portal/LMS. The mobile learning revolution is here.

Welcome to the future.

We’ve set our sights high: to build the best, most innovative mobile learning solutions in terms of ideas, design, content and functionality. We believe the handheld device of choice for mobile learning will be the mobile phone. It is estimated that there are 1.5 billion mobile phones in the world today, which is more than three times the number of personal computers. Today’s most sophisticated phones have the processing power of a mid-1990s PC. At Palatine, we are developing solutions that will deliver learning materials within a browser, enabling our training programs to be easily ported between different, existing hand held devices. We will be able to target each learning solution, or a version of each solution, to a specific platform type, rather than developing a generic version of the solution. This strategy works well, given the immature nature of standards development in the mobile phone/PDA arena. Our solutions will include learner tracking functionality and a tool that allows instructors to create/import/export courses and modules to a learner’s device. We will offer both online (through our client’s existing infrastructure) and offline access to training courses for a higher level of user experience.
