For those of you who have not experienced ePocrates, go to www.epocrates.com. This is the Internet-based medical encyclopedia, showing drug identification, doses, contraindications, and real-time pill identification. This will now be an application in iPhone. In the past, this application was available in Palm and Blackberry devices, but the superior display of the iPhone will make pill identification, in a word, sparkling.
The second generation iPhone will be thinner than the current phone, and is rumored to have an OLED lit screen, which will be brighter than the current screen and increase battery talk time. The 3G network will allow download speeds to rival broadband speed.
