Top 7 new iphone 4 features for education

Here are some of the best new features for education on the iPhone4

  1. Better graphics resolution means better learning. 960-by-640 resolution, 326 ppi. iPhone 4 Retina display uses technology called IPS (in-plane switching) — the same technology used in the Apple LED Cinema Display and iPad — to achieve a wider viewing angle than on typical LCDs. Which means you can hold iPhone 4 almost any way you want and still get a brilliant picture.
  2. Video Calling face time The two cameras means that the person holding the camera could be showing something while you see them explain it. It seems like a great way to teach in the field. This new forward facing camera will be great for teachers to connect to student VIA social media sites like Youtube and Facebook.
  3. Connects to a keyboard - This makes using the iphone to write and take notes more feasible.
  4. Multitasking - Now you can have many programs running, this will allow you to go jot down notes or email a teacher a question while reading or watching a video.
  5. iBooks – The biggest feature on the iPhone 4 for education has to be ibooks. Having access to thousands of books allows you to read on the go. Not everyone will buy an iPad.
  6. 4G – Now M-learning will be crazy fast
  7. HD Camera – Look out flip camera, your are now redundant. For about the same price as a Flip camera you can now purchase the iPhone 4 with HD video and iMovie app editing. I’m sure that thousands of educators will now start using the iPhone for their video cameras.

I’m sure I missed a few but these are the featured that caught my eye.
