The iPod/Osirix combo is really wonderful for several reasons:
1. Osirix has a 'export' button that quickly loads selected studies (and import is just as easy). 2. The photo and video iPods allow physicians to show studies to their patients (low res is fine for this). 3. Osirix itself is a godsend to the Mac community and has become one of the best radiographic DICOM viewing program on the Mac (or any platform...and it is free!) 4. Osirix allows network connectivity to many medical devices (eg: MRI scanners) and also can be used to view the increasingly ubiquitous CD's that are now given to patients in lieu of films.
Previously I would put MRI studies on a Treo to show studies to patients and their families. Now I can do it easier with the iPod (and have a cool device to boot!)
Subscription services (Napster et. al.) are doomed for the following reasons:
1) People who love music, usually have a certain library of artists they want to 'own' (do I want to buy all the Neil Young or Led Zeppelin or whatever or rent it for $15/mth forever).
2) People who are not into music won't want to pay $15 a month to listen to/have access to a million songs.
3) The people inbetween will borrow/rip/copy their friends music.
Nice knowin' ya Napster (your welcome for the free marketing advice)
'cause Verizon management are a bunch of idiots!
No Treo 600!
No Bluetooth!
There is a petition at http://www.petitiononline.com/treo600/petition.htm l running around trying to get Verizon to carry the Treo 600 - fat chance!

Well at least Microsoft hase Kim Komando (and John Dvorak) to give us the real lowdown on Apple and Microsoft!

Verizon is disabling BT only to support their GIN vendors. It has nothing to do with security!
