Who wants to share what they think are the best medical and non medical apps? I love the free ones, but I also want to know which ones are worth shelling out a few bucks for. Thanks!

Pocket Medicine (from skyscape)
Tabers Encyclopedia (from skyscape)
ECG Guide
Acid Plus
Lab Tests
Epocrates

I'm currently an intern and I use those programs religiously. I have a bunch of other ones I rarely use. For anesthesia... You can get PDF expert setup and put the entire millers anesthesia, barash, any other medical text you can thing of as long as its a PDF ebook. I got like 10 on there. Pretty easy to read on the display, it will be nice for the OR next year.

Of course you don't have to pay for any of it as long as you jailbreak your phone and know how to download stuff. But I would never do that 😉. And please, if you want to know how.. just Google it, don't ask me.

Instapaper- files newspaper/magazine articles to read offline
SoundHound- like Shazam, identifies songs playing on radio/that you hum
Instant ECG- ECG quiz/reference, but little utility after you've done it a few times
Plants v Zombies- just get it
ESPN ScoreCenter- can be setup to notify you with game score updates for your favorite teams
Terminology- bigass dictionary
netflix- watch movies/shows directly on your iPhone
DirecTV- program your DirecTV to record a show away from home
Flixster- movie reviews, metacritic rankings
Fandango- find movies/times showing in your area, buy tix
Yelp- restaurant reviews
OpenTable- book a restaurant/read reviews (if your fav restaurant has a wait, you can see other nearby restaurants with available tables
Chipotle- can order burritos through the app, just walk in and pickup.
Google- try things like goggles
AroundMe- Need to find the closest Starbucks? Gas station? Bank? Hotel? Bar? Parking? Tells you where it is based on your current location

This app has saved me a few times on the road. 🙂
Netflix is great app too, especially on iPhone4.

I enjoy X-plane4HD version, good luck landing that 747 without 20 crashes as you get used to it. Now add some turbulence and storms. I'm a pro now! 🙂

Dropbox. Infinitely useful. Awesome if you have a Mac too.

For the medical apps, do you need to be connected to the internet to be able to make the most out of them or can you do without? I prefer a blackberry phone and maybe just get an ipod touch for the apps if internet connection isnt really necessary.

The ipod touch would have WiFi, so if your hospital has it, no problemo.
