Educause Horizon Report

2010 Horizon report says Mobile Computing is a technology to watch in the next 12 months.

Excerpt from the report –

Mobile computing, by which we mean use of the network-capable devices students are already carrying, is already established on many
campuses, although before we see widespread use, concerns about privacy, classroom management, and access will need to be
addressed. At the same time, the opportunity is great; virtually all higher education students
carry some form of mobile device, and the cellular network that supports their connectivity
continues to grow. An increasing number of faculty and instructional technology staff are experimenting with the possibilities for
collaboration and communication offered by mobile computing. Devices from smart phones to netbooks are portable tools for productivity,
learning, and communication, offering an increasing range of activities fully supported by applications designed especially for mobiles.
