Adobe has release a mobile version of Adobe Connect Pro for the iPhone and iPod touch.  Now users can participate in online meetings while on the go!

There is more good news, since this application was built using the Flash development environment Adobe will be able to publish the application to the Flash Platform as well.  So, when Adobe AIR for mobile devices is available, Adobe will be able to release a version for mobile phones other than the iPhone.

To see the mobile application in action visit Alister Lee’s video on Connect Pro User Community.

If you have an iPhone or iPod Touch you can download the application for FREE from itunes.  Adobe expects that the mobile version will also work on the iPad.

Podcasting has come a long way since its start as a vehicle for individuals to distribute their own radio-style shows over the Internet. Today’s podcasts can combine audio and video files to provide a rich user experience.

With their ability to be syndicated and downloaded automatically whenever new content is present, podcasts have many practical applications beyond virtual broadcasting. Universities are largely responsible for the increased popularity of podcasting by leveraging it as an educational tool. Now, students have the ability to download a missed lecture to view on their MP3 player, phone, or laptop anywhere, anytime!

Going green is a way to help the world become a better place and make your organization become more efficient by eliminating waste, resulting in savings now and long term.  Today, a competative edge could simply be moving training from in person to online, reducing or eliminating travel, lodging, food and other expenses associated with instructor led training.  Organizations that seek the ability to go green should look internally at training and provide online meetings in leu of travel, web based training in lue of paper/person training, as well as provide web based anytime, anywhere resources for information exchange.  Not only will this save organizations time and money, but also provide information not otherwaise accessable unless carried with the individual employee or client.
