iPad As A Distraction

Ryas Faas, renown Apple-in-business hater:

Those seem like great additions to a doctor’s daily workflows – both in the office and while on rounds at hospitals. Those great healthcare features don’t live in a vacuum, however. They live on mobile devices that also allow their owners to check-in on social networks, send and receive texts and emails, play games, and do all manner of personal tasks. That has some doctors and hospitals concerned that iPad, iPhones, and other mobile devices could actually be putting patients in harm’s way.

Yeah, the iPhone/Blackberry/Windows Phone/Android in their pocket doesn't have any of that stuff. If doctor's are not able to focus on the task at hand, healthcare has bigger problems.
