80% Bronx Providers To Share Patients' E-Medical Records

This press release announces:

The new Bronx Regional Health Information Organization (Bronx RHIO) is being established through a $4.1 -million New York State grant, and its members include institutions with some of the nation’s most highly advanced electronic clinical information systems. The Bronx RHIO already encompasses 80 percent of the Bronx’s healthcare providers, 50 percent of the borough’s practicing physicians and two-thirds of all Bronx inpatient care.

It would interesting to find out what constitutes the "most highly advance electronic clinical information system."

Tatung (UMPC?)

David Ciccone of Mobility Today sagaciously points out that this device which is running Windows Mobile 5.0, doesn't meet the spec of providing a touch screen interface for it to be considered a UMPC device.

A commenter noted that its OS is the smartphone edition, and therefore doesn't support the touch screen.

Linksys announces iPhone

This was almost like the runup to the announcement that Apple was going to switch to Intel processors. Rumors being floated for months before, then people saying that this was most improbable, then the story in the Wall Street Journal online which made it official.

But no, the just announced iPhone is not from Apple, but instead it's a Linksys VoIP phone system.

Brian Lam of Gizmodo cryptically said that we would see the iPhone's release today, but that it would not be what would have expected.

Om says "Looks like real iPhone, without even making a debut is redefining the drab, dowdy and listless world of VoIP devices."
