Do we really need all the bells and whistles to learn?

Maybe I'm getting old but do we really need all the flash and bang of a full blown expensive elearning vehicle to get our 4 to 6 key messages across. What's the use of audio and video if I can't view it while I am on the go. Why can't it run on my chosen device. Learning should be about anywhere anytime...my time on whatever device I have at hand. Enough ranting. Here's something cool. Cool but maybe also induces a yawn in some trainers. I use the apple iTouch everyday. I love it. I have a company smart phone that I nickname the brick. Guess why. Anyway I added some new free and cheap apps to the iTouch that really make learning easy and fun without all the razzamataz. Get ready for it...I'm talking Flash Cards. Yep for the iTouch and if you are lucky the sleek iPhone. I program new cards and tests myself in minutes or for free download new cards off the net. The library has lots to choose from. Project management terms, anatomy, geography all the way to management strategy. All in the palm of my hand. I love it. Oh I also found a wikipedia site for mobiles that gives me immediate access to thousands of learning items. No more boring waits at airports or falling asleep in traffic jams...I have my learning right where I am when I need it most.
