There are already ultrasound scanners that aren't much bigger than a cell phone (Siemens makes one). The problem is that the acquisition devices for most other imaging modalities (CT or MRI, say) are much too large and complex to benefit from this concept. (The authors of this study used electrical impedance tomography.)

I called AmEx on Thursday morning. The rep was friendly and obviously had spoken to other iPhone buyers, since she asked if I had the 4 or 8 gig version. All she would do is say that she'd file a claim for me without making any promises.

BTW, I wouldn't be bothered if the price protection didn't apply in this case, but I do expect to be treated no differently than cardholders who have gotten a $200 refund.

Satellite!

"it's really gonna come down to what you look for in a camera."

Actually, it's who's behind the camera that counts most.

At least the odds are better than Powerball.

Sure, I'd love the T700W. (No Q or 700P yet, darn!)
