I don't own a smartphone, but after reading about all the medical apps you can put on your iphone, I admit I want one. I've never been a big cellphone user, preferring to keep it solely for emergencies or quick "what type of bread did you want again" calls from the grocery store. I just never wanted to be that accessible to people. I don't get wanting to chat on the phone while shopping for groceries or driving my car, etc. (Okay, I know the car one puts me in a very small minority.) But now that there are lots of apps out there, I can appreciate the utility of a smartphone. Iphone seems to be the most popular choice among friends and coworkers, with only rare blackberries surfacing.
I had problems with the instructions for this Thing, since the assignment refers to blog posts but doesn't provide a link to them. It also says you can go to KevinMD and put "med apps" in the search box. But for the life of me, I couldn't find a search box on the site. (Librarians, did I somehow just miss it or does it not exist?) I did find what looks like the first assigned blog (iphone vs android) by doing a google search for this phrase with "kevin" at the end. Here it is: http://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2009/10/doctors-choose-google-android-iphone-medical-apps.html
I got to the second one the same way (gotta love google). Here it is: http://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2009/09/iphones-blackberrys-doctors-medical-students.html
I spent about 30 minutes on Thing 11.
