More like the apple version of japanese phones already on the market. If the patent office grants this one on anything but a technicality, you'll see other companies adding it and then telling apple to take a hike or risk them invalidating that patent.]]>May 6th 2010 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/06/apples-seamlessly-embedded-heart-rate-monitor-could-turn-the-ip/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/06/apples-seamlessly-embedded-heart-rate-monitor-could-turn-the-ip/May 6th 2010 7:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/06/apples-seamlessly-embedded-heart-rate-monitor-could-turn-the-ip/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/06/apples-seamlessly-embedded-heart-rate-monitor-could-turn-the-ip/May 6th 2010 8:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/06/apples-seamlessly-embedded-heart-rate-monitor-could-turn-the-ip/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/06/apples-seamlessly-embedded-heart-rate-monitor-could-turn-the-ip/May 6th 2010 8:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/06/apples-seamlessly-embedded-heart-rate-monitor-could-turn-the-ip/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/06/apples-seamlessly-embedded-heart-rate-monitor-could-turn-the-ip/May 6th 2010 8:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/06/apples-seamlessly-embedded-heart-rate-monitor-could-turn-the-ip/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/06/apples-seamlessly-embedded-heart-rate-monitor-could-turn-the-ip/

1. iPacemaker: Sheethed in industrial Titanium and clear, glossy plastic with chrome bezel. Sells for 3 times more than standard pacemakers. Comes in 2 flavors: White or Macbook Pro Titanium (TM).

2. iPacemaker requires activation through iTunes via iPad tethered through the iPhone, with diagnostics on a iPod running on AT&Ts "super fast & reliable"(TM) network.

3. iPacemaker requires a separate monthly subscription of unlimited data (of which Apple pockets 30%).

4. You can download Apps, games and social networking tools to the iPacemaker.

5. Apple disallows you to have any other type of medical prostetics in your body if you use an iPacemaker; citing poor user experience and UI incompatibility. Takes another random swipe at Adobe.

6. Releases with 1 valve/pump. When challenged by the medical community, Apple cites the reason being "You only need 1 valve." 1 year later, releases a new model with revolutionary 2 valves! etc...

7. Sells millions in the first month. Admob releases data to back up the notion that this is the first "consumer-friendly" pacemaker! data shows, 95% have no heart condition prior to buying iPacemaker.

8. Random man replaces his perfectly functioning heart with iPacemaker, spends rest of his life gripping his chest in ectastic pain while sermonising about how much more awesome his ipacemaker is than your smartphone...and that he's getting an upgrade wo the 2 valve version ... soon. Can your phone do that?!

9. First couple models suffer from hairline cracks, micro explosions and poor battery performance.

10. First man to be alerted to a heart attack via iPacemaker makes the headline to much applause driving AAPL stocks soaring 200%. In an interview, the man cites the ease of use for saving his life,

"When I felt chest hurting, I immediately drove 20 minutes back home! I made a call using the iPhone to my MacBook Pro which initalised the iTunes software.

iPhone monitor told me I was about to die.

When I crawled to the living room through the garage, I managed to connect my iPad through wifi (the 3G signal kept dropping to edge on the freeway), activated the emergency response signal on my iPhone, synched it with itunes and an ambulance was immediately notified!

It's so magical! I don't know how I could have done it had I used another pacemaker!---- btw can your smartphone do that!?"
