Revision as of 13:29, 31 July 2009
Tool : iPhone Protocols Managements
this year, we decided to try a tool project. We though about some nice applications and the iPhone idear became quite interesting. Why ? Why, using an iPhone for a biology tool ?
In fact we noticed that a lot of people have an iPhone, and use some applications on it (mostly gadgets), but just take a look on this phone... just wondering if it still a "phone" : 16 to 32 Go hard drive flash / 600MHz CPU / 256Mo Ram / multi-touch display / accelerometer / light sensor / voice record / wifi / bluetooth etc etc... sounds more like a computer to us. And all of this, for playing Dark Vador with the Light Saber sound apps (i like it anyway :) ).
We discuss about the interest of having a small computer in the lab, is it useful? What do we need when we go to the lab? First of, we need to have some support for our protocols, the way to keep in mind some changes during the lab work and make some last time calculations. We also need supports like USB disk for some machines, or pictures (more and more techniques use a computer for initiate the manipulation, and analyze them like RT-Q-PCR, DNA sequencing, DNA chips...).
The Post-it situation
At this time, we (and i guess a lots of labs do it in this way) use papers, pencil and the ultimate useful wipe marker and colored stickers combo. Can we put all this techniques on a simple interface? on a 3,5" display? It's a bit tricky to answer this question, but in the first place, the answers is no. In fact, why do we still use a lots of Post-it despite the fact that we have a lots of computers, and communication techniques which can improve our works ?
