iPhone4

Today we aren’t going to talk about diabetes, at least not directly.  Today we talk about my new iPhone4 which I was lucky enough to receive a day early (thanks Apple!).  

I’ll be posting pictures and video from my new iPhone as well as my thoughts and reactions to the phone.  What do I want in return, nothing.  However, if you find yourself really enjoying my posts and want to say thank you, I can’t think of a better way then by making a tax deductible donation to my daughter Arden’s 2010 JDRF Walk to find a cure for her type I diabetes at this link - Arden walks for @JDRFEasternPA

I’ll be updating here, on Twitter with my Arden’s Day account @ArdensDay and on the MacRumors forum

To make this experiment a total Apple experience I’ll be hosting all of the pictures and videos on my MobileMe Gallery - http://gallery.me.com/skca/100928

Please use the “Email Me” button below to be added to Arden’s email list. Special thanks to Arden’s brother Cole for helping with the motion videos.

UPDATE: My initial thoughts on the phone are here

I wish I may... have Mac compatible software

Hello Makers of various insulin pumps, CGMs, and meters.  How are you?  I wanted to drop you a note and say that we really appreciate all that you do!  Your inventions are quite literally saving us (well those of us with good insurance) so I feel just a little weird complaining but nevertheless here I go.  

Not one of us wants to keep logs by hand but some of us have to because.  we have Apple computers and your software only runs on a Windows machine.  I know that Apple only holds about a 13% market share in home computing but please keep these things in mind: 13% is second only to Windows, that number is growing steadily, Apple computers are (generally) owned by the more tech savvy section of society and your devices are geared toward those people.  Lastly, it really wouldn’t take that much effort to port your software over to the Mac OS.

Anyway, give that some consideration please and let me know what you decide.

Signed,

Patiently Waiting

I Emailed Abbott today about this very thing.  I am considering purchasing a no frills laptop just for this purpose but I really can't afford to do that.  Excel is still my friend for now.

Sophia's Mom,

Like a net book maybe... That's a very good idea! Though I would so dislike using Windows again... :)
