Few mobile technologies have taken the field with as much fanfare as the iPhone. Even though Apple released the iPhone 4 in 2010, there is already talk of an iPhone 5. In medicine, physicians, medical students and faculty have moved to iPhones for convenience and functionality over other mobiles; some say the iPhone is key to the future of medical practice. (See Smartphones Becoming Integral Tools for Health Care Providers, Medical Students). Those who use the iPhone 4 (HD) say it’s a leap forward in functionality.
