With this post on my blog, I've decided to start to put together a listing of what I think would be an ideal suite of applications for the iPod / iPhone in the classroom.  Given pricing and rules about cell phones to hurdle, I'm guessing that the iPod Touch would be the ideal mobile / portable solution.  Please consider joining this wiki and contributing your thoughts.
