CareConnector by Johnson & Johnson Consumer Products Company is an app designed to help caregivers take better care for those in their charge. With CareConnector you can keep track of personal medical information for multiple people all in one place which can save time and relieve stress.
When you open CareConnector you are taken to the Care Planner section which is for the most part, a list of those people for which you need medical information. Each name on the list stores important details specific to that person that are crucial in an emergency situation, such as: social security, insurance company name, group number, birth date, age, address, phone, and allergies.
CareConnector also helps keep track of the prescriptions for multiple people.In the Prescription section of CareConnector you can create the same kind of list as in the Care Planner section only this time with information limited only specifically to prescription drug details. This section is organized with five headings: Prescriptions for Today, Prescriptions for this Week, Prescriptions for this Month, Prescriptions Completed, and Prescription History. Under each of these headings you can put detailed information regarding various treatments and prescription information as well as keep some notes regarding side effects.
The Journal section also lets you keep track of notes and photos too. Here you can document treatment progress and conditions that may arise so that later you can relay the information back to your doctor on your next appointment. Read the rest of this entry »
The iPhone SDK (software development kit) is free to download atwww.apple.com/developer, but only for Mac OS X. It’s based on the same Xcode development suite used to develop many Mac OS X apps, which provides a versatile environment for writing the Objective-C code that underpins iPhone software. It’s complemented by companion tools, such as Instruments, that enable performance analysis and drag-and-drop interface building.

Pick a letter, any letter: The iPhone’s onscreen keyboard takes some getting used to, but it’s also incredibly versatile, supporting more than 20 different languages. Sometimes you don’t need a whole different alphabet, though—maybe you just need to be able to spell François or Mötley Crue. No worries, the iPhone’s got you covered: to insert one of those special characters, just hold down the base letter for a couple seconds (for example, to get ö, hold down the ‘o’ key) and you’ll see a menu of special characters pop up. Slide your finger to the right one, let go, and presto, you’re all set. Bonus tip: this technique also works with the “.com” key that you see when typing in a web address in Safari—hold it down and you’ll get options for .org, .net, and .edu too.

In the post-holiday crunch, AT&T has launched the sale of refurbished iPhones to unload some inventory and offer cost-conscious shoppers a discount. In AT&T Wireless’ online store, a refurbished 8 GB iPhone runs $99 with a two-year contract, while a refurbished 16 GB iPhone is $199. Both are $100 more when purchased new, but carry the same contract terms.
AT&T’s move to sell off refurbished iPhone comes roughly a week after it was rumored that national discount superstore Wal-Mart would offer its own exclusive 4 GB model of the Apple iPhone 3G for $99. Those rumors were officially debunked this week, when Wal-Mart on Sunday started offering the standard 8 GB and 16 GB models of the now-iconic smart phone for fairly close to their original retail prices — a $2 discount. The addition of the iPhone makes Wal-Mart only the second retailer outside of Apple and AT&T stores to be authorized to sell the iPhone. In September, Best Buy started selling the device in its Best Buy Mobile stores.
According to AT&T, the refurbished devices will be for sale until Dec. 31 or until supplies run out. The previously owned devices have been unused or lightly used and were returned during the initial 30-day trial period, AT&T said, though some may have minor scratches. Each device has been quality tested and updated with the latest software.
The refurbished devices offer a 90 day warranty.
Apple may be gearing up to introduce cheaper iPhone and MacBook models in 2009, possibly including a device dubbed the iPhone nano.
Judging by checks with Apple suppliers, it appears the Cupertino, Calif., computer maker may be getting ready to introduce “a lower-cost version” of the popular iPhone.
Some call this device the iPhone nano.”, ” Whatever one calls it, we believe this device is on its way.”
“a new and smaller version of the iPod shuffle,” possibly in the middle of the first quarter and a cheaper MacBook notebook, although, “We do not believe this PC will qualify as a netbook.”
Don’t expect the products to be ready in time for a rollout at the upcoming MacWorld expo next week.
Officials at Apple could not immediately be reached for comment.
