You have a tumor... Or maybe just a dead pixel

Alright. A few days have passed, and everyone has had a chance (us included) to point out the shortcomings from the WWDC Keynote. There was one area though, that seemed far more advanced than perhaps we'd expected: specialized iPhone apps.

The applications demoed, specifically the medical applications proved to be the most interesting. While most iPhone users will never need to use the apps from modality or MIMvista shown at WWDC. These products though, may represent the most cutting-edge use of the iPhone as a platform that we'll see anytime soon.

Mark Cain's look at the the MIMvista projects in particular, showed the potential of the iPhone, while it might take longer than we expected (meaning later than the launch of the apps store) to see this kind innovation. Porting Cro-Mag Rally is one thing. The ability to view, analyze, and adjust CT scans, x-rays, etc. from anywhere is the first step towards seeing a legitimate "third platform" to go along with the Mac and Windows.
