Interview: HTC chief Florian Seiche says Google's G1 phone will kill off the PC - Telegraph

This is really big news for the entire mobile world," he says,
after finally managing to tear himself away from the new G1 Google mobile
phone.

Mr Seiche claims the phone, which was launched by Google's founders Larry Page
and Sergey Brin amid a frenzy of excitement in New York this week, is set to
transform the way we think about the internet – and could even make the
personal computer obsolete.

"It is so fast, responsive and easy to navigate that you basically have
the same browsing experience you would have on your desktop at home,"

‘The focus [of health journals] is not just to write for each other,’ said Health and Human Rights publisher Jim Yong Kim, ‘but to develop a robust community of practice.’

Internet audio broadcasting free.

Juice, the cross-platform podcast receiver.
Want to listen to internet audio programs (podcasts), music and shows but can't when they are scheduled? Juice is for you.

Juice lets users select and download shows and music and play whenever they want on their iPods, portable digital media players, or computers automatically.

I like the idea of democratization of knowledge by widely distributed audio and video snippets. Short, sweet and sticky knols.

Ericsson joins new UN initiative to bring digital-health benefits to Africa - FOXBusiness.com
STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN, Sep 23, 2008
Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC: 10.00, -0.30, -2.91%) is joining forces with the United Nations Office for Partnerships to use telecommunications to bring
mobile-health applications and services (m-health) and telemedicine to rural Africa.

As the leading telecom provider, Ericsson will use its expertise to spearhead the initiative's technology
stream, and will explore the use of mobile communications to deliver telemedicine to rural communities, to help to improve
access to and delivery of emergency and general health services, assist with disease surveillance and control, enhance the
collection of basic health data such as birth and death registration, and deliver mobile learning to health workers in remote
areas. Ericsson's experience in India and Bangladesh shows that even people with an average income of USD 1.25 per day can
have access to medical care with the help of mobile connectivity. ......

Ideas that work- ( Wiki entry from ehealth-connection.org)

1. Simple: "We must create ideas that are both simple and profound. The Golden Rule is the ultimate model of simplicity: a one-sentence statement so profound that an individual could spend a lifetime  learning to follow it." eHealth and health informatics is complicated; there are many  technologies, architectures, standards, data models, software systems, and so on. We need to find a way to communicate the value of that to stakeholders who are not eHealth experts.
2. Unexpected: "How do we get our audience to pay  attention to our ideas, and how do we maintain their interest when we need time to get the ideas across? We need to violate people's  expectations. We need to be counterintuitive." Rather than incremental improvements in eHealth, what could we imagine that is counterintuitive about eHealth? Already, the idea of poor countries using computers and
   information technology in their healthcare system in counter-intuitive  to some; how can we add meat to this idea?
3. Concrete: "How do we make our ideas clear? We must  explain our ideas in terms of human actions, in terms of sensory information." Any outcomes from an eHealth vision should be something  we could hold, touch, and allow anyone to know that it is accomplished.
4. Credible: "How do we make people believe our ideas? When the former surgeon general C. Everett Koop talks about a public-health issue, most people accept his ideas without skepticism.  But in most day-to-day situations we don't enjoy this authority. Sticky ideas have to carry their own credentials." The organizations represented at this conference represent some of the leaders in this  field - whether from the research, academic, donor, multilateral, technology, or country perspective. This lends us a natural credibility that we need to leverage, provided we can come to consensus.
5. Emotional: "How do we get people to care about our  ideas? We make them feel something." Computers are inert; software has no feelings. But what we really care about is improving the individual
   condition - better health for all. How do we ensure that the human  connection to eHealth is not lost?
6. Stories: How do we get people to act on our ideas? We tell stories. Firefighters naturally swap stories after every fire, and by doing so they multiply their experience; after years of hearing  stories, they have a richer, more complete mental catalog of critical situations they might confront during a fire and the appropriate responses to those situations." We need good stories for eHealth, that  reflect the difference it can make to individual lives
