Here's my response:
I believe that part of the resistance to a broader take-up of m-learning is the issue of plain old content formatting. Given that we still have to jump through any number of hoops to ensure content is delivered as specified in different browsers on the Windows platform (never mind MacOS, Linux etc.) is it any wonder that training and content providers are reticent about developing courseware for the range of what Douglas Adams called "Personal Electronic Things"? Associated issues include designing UIs that work on 2x1 inch screens, bandwidth considerations, interoperability, tracking learner usage, providing and measuring tests, and so on.
So there's all that, and the fact that I have yet to see any really engaging m-learning materials.
