Mobile App to discover more about our food

Have you wondered where your food came from? Is there "pink slime" in tonight's dinner?
Perhaps you don't eat eggs or gelatin and have your eyes set on a flavor of ice cream. How hard is it to get accurate information on the contents of this food item?

Well, there appears to be good news. There is a new mobility food traceability app that helps consumers learn more about he food they wish to eat. See this article by Derek Singleton.

I'm personally using RDP to log into my Win Apps, which we have designed to iPad friendly.

EMRs and iPAD strategy

Austin Merritt, Chief Operating Officer of Software Advice, feels that EMR companies are slow to develop an iPad strategy:

"The medical software industry is far from supporting the iPad on a meaningful scale."
"... only a handful of other vendors (most notably AllScripts and Quest) have released iPad apps to supplement existing EHR systems".


I personally have been using RDP on my iPhone and have found it to work great for my Windows applications. In fact, we've been developing our internal Windows based applications with iPhone and iPad in mind, using these applications via RDP is similar in ease of use as native iPhone/iPad apps.
