Ignoring the subject of the “mobile privacy” hearing, Schumer queried the witnesses from both Google and Apple on whether they will accede to his demand that they reject certain “apps” on Android phones and iPhones. The applications Senator Schumer dislikes alert people on their mobile phones to the locations of DUI checkpoints. Senator Schumer says these apps “allow drunk drivers to evade police checkpoints,” but that statement fails to include other parties who might rightly wish to avoid police checkpoints—such as law-abiding citizens who wish to live free in this count...

According to BizReport, this has lead the AMA to create their first App for doctors, The CPT® E/M Quick Reference App. In addition to this new app, they are challenging doctors and medical students to suggest ideas for the next big idea that will lead to an app that can help doctors better use this new technology to their advantage.  What do you think it will be?  Weigh in on our poll below.

There are are currently over 250,000 apps available. For the past two years, the developers of these programs would submit their applications with no structure during development, leaving some with Apps that were not approved. Also, they've lifted the ban on using third-party development tools that ''translate'' code written for another platform. Will this encourage more apps from Pharma companies that will allow the digital tracking of health to increase?This blog is co-posted with Community 2.0.

(The picture shows a side-by-side comparison with the Touch on the left.)The Touch has more screen area, plus I can use it on a Wi-Fi network, saving the batteries on my phone. Safari provides a decent browsing experience, not only for the regular Web sites but also for the mobile sites, which are growing in number. The Apple App Store gives me more options than Android Market. My favorite apps include Instapaper, Stanza (ebook reader) and GeeTasks (sync's with Google Tasks and Android gTasks).This morning, I set up a Microsoft Exchance account using Google Sync so that I can sync my Google contacts with the contacts app on the Touch. At first you might not think this is necessary because...

You might want to check them out if you own an iPhone or iPod Touch. 1. The Human Body 2 Price: $2.99 This app will help you understand the basics of different systems: 1. The nervous system 2. Muscle System and parts 3. Some internal organs of the body 4. Skeletal System 5.
