I was just reading about a great new service last week which I finally got to try yesterday. The website is called BigOven and has tens of thousands of recipes in mobile friendly format.

I just can’t wait for this to be an acceptable excuse for anything.

“Your Honor I was on my BlackBerry. What could I do?”

Seriously this is getting old. The last one I truly remember well ended up with a $4.1 million dollar ruling for driving while BlackBerrying.

I know that many readers will find this information boring but there is a reason we mention it. Every one of these medical applications is one less reason for doctors to be stuck using a Windows Mobile or Palm device just because of compatibility.
