I thought this piece in Canadian magazine MacLeans about the increasing utilization of iPhones in medical care and the creation of medically focused applications was an interesting story and pushes back a bit against the idea that iPhones and smart phones in general are just better mouse traps dressed up as lifestyle choices. My own experience using an iPhone is that they aren’t Apple’s answer to everything, but do remain pretty useful devices in a couple of different regards.

The possibilities with smartphones are endless. I just hope they don’t all (or mostly) get tied up with Apple.
I love my iPhone. I spent much of the weekend checking my ESPN Tourney Challenge app to see how I was doing in the League’s group*.
Granted, that’s not nearly as important as “saving lives”, but what the hell. I say you should get one, Scott.
