PM-ABC: World's first PMP audio book for iPhone users

TAIPEI, TAIWAN: As the global audience of iPhone/iPod embracing this handheld internet-connected multimedia player and smartphone gadget, the Project Management Advanced Business Consulting Inc. (PM-ABC.com), a registered education provider of Project Management Institute, who boosted the growing rate of Certified Project Managers in Taiwan to the world’s fastest one in the past three years, has developed the world’s first Project Management audio book.

This audio book integrates learning activities with the versatileness and mobility of iPhone/iPod, where a joint force of playing and learning, project management and entertainment, has made a great manifestation on this 21th-century magic device.

iPhone and iPod are the most fantastic 3G products developed and marketed by Apple Inc. Not only have they re-defined the mobile phone and MP3 player, but their 3×5 inches multi-touch screen has become a fantastic stage for the display of the most advanced wireless technologies.

The versatility of the device includes a GPS that supports global map searching, Internet connection that supports emailing, web browsing, video-audio viewing, and an exclusive online shopping platform specially developed by Apple. Anything you can imagine in terms of internet and mobile phone can be realized within this palm-sized touch screen. Besides, it also allows to play games or do learning activities.

As a matter of fact, if you look at the number of the games and learning software on the Apple’s iTune platform, and their purchase rate, you will soon realize, many of this little, fancy and miscellaneous software have infiltrated every aspects of people’s life. Their function can no longer be described as “time killing.”

PM-ABC sees the versatileness and beauty of iPhone/iPod, and attempts to test the possibility of delivering quality management knowledge through this gadget. After successfully developed a world-leading project management professional (PMP) exam simulation system three years ago, PM-ABC continues to develop new learning products that can fit in with modern people’s fragmented learning life. In this sense, Apple’s iPhone and iPod prove to be a very ideal media.

This end of May, PM-ABC successfully delivered the world’s first PMP audio book, in which the Nine Knowledge Areas of Project Management are provided.

The first episode of the audio books is free for download, the second episode is divided into three parts, and each one costs $1.99. Every user is entitled a free access to the exam simulation of 200 questions provided by PMSuccess for 7 days. All the 3C lovers are welcome to test on the learning software; you may find something beyond expectation!
