(View all)note to self: must find more useful things to do with my time... :o ;)
I wanted to try that Enigmo game, but seems it ain't a Web App, it's a native app to come soon in the App Store. What's up with that?
It's out for the Mac to, it's loads of fun!
wow... prizes are incredible. congrats to the winners!
No doubt! Congratulations, you just hit :apple::apple::apple: :D
Congrats. Pretty narrow though... is that a category they're going to have every year? Is it a crowded field of competitors?
Why no award for "Best iPhone Animal Husbandry Tool"?

Actually its a huge market. If you know anyone that works in the healthcare industry ask them about tablet computers and palm pilots - most Dr have them. THe iPhone is scene as a new device that health care professionals could use (think reference library, medical record look up, scheduling, notes on patients, test result access etc).

Give me a break. This category is clearly a ploy to give kudos to an early (although possibly deserving) iPhone/iPod Touch developer. I didn't even see the iPhone runner up categories listed on the iLife page of ADA winners (maybe because only a handful of apps are even in development at this time?)...
'Most' doctors have tablet computers and PDAs? Any evidence for this? Would you also care to elaborate on how they use these devices in their daily practice? I have close family members in the medical field; I would be shocked to see them or any other physician pulling out an iPhone to look up my medical records, take notes on a patient, or access results from offsite labs ("Oh gee! Let me find out the results of your questionable skin lesion on my phone!"). Please exercise some discretion (and spell check) in your future posts. :)
