Thanks to Robert Hansen writing for iPhone Freak on 10/28/08 for the following review of Google Earth for the iPhone: (but first check out the You Tube Video from Google about how to download and use the app)

Google has recently released an iPhone and iPod touch version of GOOGLE EARTH. The newly released app is available for free and offers functionality similar to the desktop version. Initially I was a little skeptical on just how well this would perform on the iPhone, but after playing for a little while I can say that it not only performs well, but was also fun to use.

Google Earth for the iPhone allows users to browse the globe with your fingertips. It even has links to Wikipedia articles for select locations as well as over 8 million Panoramio photos. Using Google Earth is simple thanks to the touchscreen capability, users can move around by swiping your finger, then once you locate that spot you want to check out, you can then pinch to zoom in or zoom out. The app also takes advantage of the built-in accelerometer and allows you to tilt the screen and get a different view.

Additionally you can use the search field to narrow into a particular location, and even use the built-in Location Services of the iPhone to quickly zoom in on your current location.

Overall, I am not sure just how often I would use Google Earth, its fun to play with, but one thing it seems to be missing are the street names, which you would commonly find in Google Maps.

Yes, its official, there ARE medical applications for the iPhone. The National Network of Libraries of Medicine has posted a host of things doctors can now do via their iPhone. With the iPhone 3G there has been an increase in applications and tomorrow..who knows…soon they will be passing iPhones out with the stethescopes.

Here is just a taste of what the docs can do with their iPhones-

Unbound Medicine & the iPhone

Unbound Medicine is one of the few medical information tools specifically designed for the iPhone. It places emphasis on current information, and book titles such as Harrison’s Manual of Medicine and Pocket Guide to Diagnostic Tests from McGraw-Hill, 5-Minute Clinical Consult from Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Red Book® from the American Academy of Pediatrics, and Davis’s Drug Guide and Taber’s Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary from F.A. Davis.

Unbound MEDLINE tracks medical journals and searches 17 million citations.
Unbound Medicine’s customized iPhone interface takes full advantage of the built-in Safari™ web browser to give health professionals quick answers over cellular and WiFi networks. Users navigate intuitively by tapping on index terms or by entering searches into clinician-friendly forms. Cross-links and lists of related content instantly take a clinician from a disease management discussion to a drug monograph for the correct dose, possible interactions, and adverse effects of a recommended medication.
In addition, iPhone and iPod Touch users can use iPhone-optimized Unbound MEDLINE on their WiFi or cell-enabled device by simply going to: http://www.unboundmedicine.com/medline (go there with a web browser you’ll get the web version).

Medical library websites & iPhone

A number of American medical libraries have started to develop special pared-down, ‘optimized’ versions of their library websites.
See Yale’s Cushing/Whitney Library cool mobile site
The idea with minimalist library websites is to help users navigate library resources on small mobile screens. In that small content, you should be able to use the iPhone to find books, specific journals or articles in medical libraries with no difficulty.
Some health librarians report that pdfs open but take time to load on the iPhone; lengthy articles may time out before they are completely downloaded (this has also been observed in loading web pages). Some articles open up in ‘html’ which may be a more sound option.

iPhone and medical faculty & students doing research
Books and articles should be searchable/findable on the iPhone
Health professionals should be able to determine, if needed, the physical location of library items using the iPhone
Copies of articles to view or print later should be easily sent via email on the iPhone
Also, abstracts and articles can be shared with colleagues, residents or medical students via email.
Patient monitoring, x-ray and scan viewing, patient charting, are all coming to the iPhone.
