Misinformation or Mistakes? Rebuttal to “Doctors should choose Google Android over the iPhone for medical apps” post on KevinMD.com
Recently, a post on the popular medical blog site KevinMD garnered a fair amount of attention with the provocative title “Why doctors should choose Google Android over the iPhone for medical apps”. It was posted on Oct 20, 2009 and was subsequently listed as one of the most popular posts for October on the highly trafficked KevinMD site.
In his post, the author seems to have gone out of his way to make a series of increasingly hyperbolic arguments declaring Motorola Droid superior to the iPhone. The long trail of negative comments on the site demonstrate that perhaps not all readers were swayed by his arguments. This post is an attempt to clarify or rebut some of the points made in that post. I will not address every issue, as there are too many. I will try to maintain a tone of neutrality, at least until towards the end.
