Q: How soon before this is the standard educational delivery format?
A: Perhaps sooner than you think?

'M-learning' is the follow up of E-learning which for its part originates from D-learning (distance education). M-learning is the delivery of learning to students who are not keeping a fixed location or through the use of mobile or portable technology. The rapid growth of information and communication technologies (ICT) makes it possible to develop new forms of this education. (Georgiev, T., E.Georgieva, A. Smrikarov. M-Learning - A New Stage of E-Learning, http://ecet.ecs.ru.acad.bg/cst04/Docs/sIV/428.pdf)

Nice extension of the classroom, but still believe face to face contact will be desirable. Can't wait for consumer applications, though. Thanks for the fascinating article on the tech

I know my own preferences would be to retain face to face contact.

However developments are ongoing.
