Slightly off the subject but why does he have to use getInstance()? Isn't there a way to use a singleton without calling getInstance? Why can't he directly use the class like this:
import MyManager; MyManager.doSomething(); The Math class, Delegate class and other classes let you use methods without calling getInstance() first.

Good luck.
