More than half of the students in many chemistry classrooms now own smartphones and/or tablet computers and that percentage is growing rapidly.  Smartphones are now at the place where electronic calculators were a little more than a decade ago; many instructors are focused more of potential abuse of the device than on the way it will change the learning process.  Why are mobile devices so important to the future of chemical education?  What are the potential learning capabilities of mobile devices in the classroom, and what are the best learning strategies to take advantage of these new opportunities?
