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 hardDrive 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?

We need to have some support for our protocols of the day, the way to keep in mind some changes, make some last time calculations. Need supports (like USB disk for some machines, or pictures). More and more techniques use a Can we put all this techniques on a simple interface? on a 3,5" display? There are so many questions, let's try to consider some of them and try to found an answer.
