Got back late last night after a relaxing (at least mentally) trip out West, first to give a Keynote presentation at LabInfoTech, and then onto Aspen, Colorado for some downhill skiing escapades and general romping in my old stomping grounds. (Spent most of my teenage years in Colorado Springs.) Beautiful sunny days with temperatures on [...]

FastCompany contributor and Social Media guru, Robert Scoble, interviews a Stanford physician on his use of Epocrates on the iPhone. An excellent interview that is well worth your time for several reasons: 1) With over 600,000 physicians using Epocrates (1 in 4 physicians in the US use Epocrates) it is arguably the number one mobile [...]

Couple days back we put up a post on the serious money being made by those developing apps for the iPhone. What we failed to mention is that Apple actually has two products for the mobile Web, the iPhone and the iTouch. iTouch has all the features of the iPhone, sans phone. Read, Write, Web, [...]
