The iPhone a lifesaver? @ You Can’t Coach That
I read over at MacApper (which quoted the Wall Street Journal) that a neurovascular surgeon had credited his new iPhone with saving a patients life. It seems that the good doctor was able to check the patient’s up to date electronic medical records just prior to the operation and thus was able to change the procedure and subsequently saved the patient’s life. Apparently the records are accessed through the Safari web browser and as “everyone” knows the iPhone comes with this pre-installed. The Blackberry that the doctor previously used does not have this feature.
Now let’s back the truck up here for a moment. A neurovascular surgeon is about to perform potentially life saving/life threatening surgery and only checks the most recent medical records for the patient because his shiny new phone has internet access?

The following seven mobile phone tweaks can help you at least maximize the potential of your Web browsing without forcing you to change your hardware or your service supplier. They range in complexity from bone simple to “Danger, Will Robinson!” None of them will make your phone an iPhone — frogs only turn into princes in fairytales. But they just might make Web browsing more usable — even enjoyable — on your current phone.
Predictions about iPhone ringing true @ The News Enterprise
With a combination iPod, mobile phone and computer with Internet access, Apple investors were sure their new iPhone product, released June 29, would be a hit. They were right.

Let’s be clear, though: Rogers Wireless has not confirmed it will carry the iPhone. But the industry buzz is that the iPhone will debut in Canada via the national cell carrier by the end of the year.
