First, you may wish to have another gander at the newly-updated Apple iPhone for physicians entry on the wiki. My goal is to do systematic culls of the top web 2.0 sites every month and update this entry for health librarians and physicians.
Next, have you seen some of the cool tools that are emerging for the iPhone? Check some of them out.
Unbound medicine is particularly worth examining. Portability is critical for the medical fellows, residents and physicians at Vancouver General Hospital so many of them will find this optimized site for MEDLINE (and EBM culling) rather useful.
Are you a digital clinical librarian participating in ward and morning rounds? Will you buy the iPhone 3G? or opt in for the Blackberry or other mobile device?

Dean, you may find this website to be of interest to you -http://www.chirad.info/efmi_stc This conference will be taking place in London, UK next month and will feature speakers on Open Source medicine and technology. The topics will relate to the European Healthcare System but you may still find the website of interest and some of the information is globally applicable.
Cheers,
Maureen
Thanks Maureen – I appreciate your suggestion. How are things in Calgary? Talk soon, Dean
