Selling Converged Devices for Education.

Mobile Learning Attracts High School Students

"Starting this month, high school students preparing for the college entrance exam will be able to use personal gadgets to study instead of textbooks on the bus or subway....

The mobility-specific educational services will start on Sept. 22, when Iriver, the sales unit of local MP3 maker ReignCom, releases the PMP-100 in stores.

Koreaedu will offer lessons from 12 top lecturers for the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT), and students can download them free of charge with a PMP-100....

The gadget is an all-in-one handheld device, which allows users to view full-motion video, listen to MP3 music, record voice messages in real time, view still images and play games.

'With our new services, students will be able to study via seamless video lectures. Afterwards, we plan to continue to make reaches in the m-learning market,' Koreaedu president Yoo Doo-sun said." [The Korea Times, via Smart Mobs]
