Flu app?! Can't wait to see google cover the globe red as the virus spreads.

How can you call an app that has yet to be released one of the top 5 in its category?

Uh, MDN, these apps were approved long ago. They are available for download. NOW. And they are extremely popular. A growing number of physicians are using iPhones for this very reason.

I recommend that you take two pills and call me in the morning...

Wow. Save this MDN take for everyone who complains that they are never critical of Apple.

If Apple's vetting process is slow, it's because they care about quality while boatloads of developers are writing new apps. I prefer that process to just letting anyone develop any buggy, potentially harmful POS for my iPhone. That's just me, though.

SoreEyePhone - I read so much on my iPhone I need my eyes examined.

iFartRight - check for patient's intestinal regularity; or, for the ultra-conservative, fundamentalists membership database.

aka Christian:

Their vetting process is slow because they've hired a team of 20 minimum-wage drones that aren't being treated well enough to keep their job longer than 2 months. The turnaround is literally 50% every month. And I'm sure they're "highly skilled, forward thinkers too."

When will they start making fun attachments that will allow for an iColonoscopy app? Or a cervical dilation app? Those seem pretty medical to me.

Other, non-medical, applications might allow you to see if that chick you've just seduced would be like throwing a hotdog down a hallway, or check and see if that rash she has is something more sinister.

How did you come to conclude that MDN was critisizing Apple here?

OOPs. My apologies. You were right.

I should have directed my comment to MDN.

@amyhre,
You win the prize for funniest comment of the day!

My other favorite saying in that same vein (pun intended) is whether it will be like fscking a glass of warm water.

Swine Flu, so far 10-20 times more people died from the regular flu than the swine flu, yet somehow this one is going to kill us all, just like Sars, and Bird Flu, this is yet another government and media generated issue that is going no where..

Believe it - nothing is free. Especially health care. Unless you're an illegal.

Swine Flu Tracker: A public health app that allows people to track its spread. The app, which is still awaiting approval by Apple, brings together information drawn from a range of different sources on the web.
