I have little doubt that Apple will design future iTouches with bluetooth (it may be hidden in the 2nd gen. ones already) to take advantage of these medical applications. Therefore, you will have the choice not to enter into an AT&T contract. Since every medical device maker will have access to Apple's new mobile programming SDK if they so choose, I believe this will create new bursts of competition which will both spur innovation, and ultimately, keep costs to the medical consumer in check. <BR/><BR/>I am interested to know whether you folks think the charting and insulin dose calculator functions as outlined in the presentation will be useful or practical for a savvy teen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076190155284676524.post-72219118810700223402009-03-18T13:25:00.000-04:002009-03-18T13:25:00.000-04:00Unfortunately where I live, lots of moms have the ...Unfortunately where I live, lots of moms have the iPhone and they lose calls left and right.(could just be the school area) Maybe if apple used a more reliable network I'd be interested. <BR/>Either way, it's about time something like this came around.
