Majority of Physicians Using Smartphones

I'm not surprised by this new survey data reported in the Wall Street Journal. It showed that 64% of physicians are using smartphones, and they project that this will increase to 81% by 2011. The real question is....how many are actually using them for important, medically-related tasks? As apps continue to mature, gain credibility, and become easily delivered (particularly on devices other than iPhones), this potential should increase dramatically in the next few years.
