We know from Apple’s earnings conference call last week that businesses and organizations are deploying iPads in great numbers. You can now add hospitals to that list. A hospital in Ottawa, Canada ordered 1,800 iPads for its staff and developed a special application that will be used in the hospital.
The application’s primary objective is to get as much patient info into the clients hands while at the bedside. Doctors will have access to lab results, patient histories, and medication information in front of them.

The uphill climb for anyone to even match the Apple iPad is getting steeper and steeper all the time.
I guess nobody told them the iPad’s just a well-marketed toy for cult-followers.
Yes, there are going to be many upset patients while the hospital staff sits there playing Angry Birds!
I guess they missed those PlayBook ads.
So what? QNX puts RIM in more devices and places than you can imagine:
