A compilation of some very useful apps

Medical Encyclopedia

Version: 1.1
iPhone OS: 3.0
Size: 0.1 MB

Medical Encyclopedia is a really useful free app for medical practitioners and non-practitioners alike. It is in fact, a comprehensive medical reference book from the University of Maryland Medical Center. With over 50,000 pages of detailed consumer friendly medical information in English and Spanish, this is a real treasure trove. The medically reviewed information is divided into different, easy to search categories.

The categories include symptoms, injury, disease, surgery, nutrition, special topics, poison, tests and YouTube videos. Updated regularly, the content is updated whenever you connect to the internet. There is an Ask the Expert feature, which lets you ask questions to more than 70 different UMMC doctors on a variety of medical topics. If you like a certain topic and would like to return to it later, then you can bookmark it.

Justin.Tv

Version: 1.2
iPhone OS: 3.1
Size: 1.5 MB

For those of you who use the iPod Touch/iPhone primarily for viewing streaming videos, Justin.TV is a worthy rival to the YouTube app that comes along with your Apple device. You can watch live videos in high quality over 3G or Wi-Fi and simultaneously chat with the broadcaster and other viewers of the video. With a simple and easy UI, you can view and manage your favorites by logging into your account, which can also be created within the app.

Dropbox

Version: 1.2.5
iPhone OS: 3.1
Size: 4.6 MB

Probably the easiest way to sync and share your files online and across other computers, Dropbox lets you view your photos, videos, documents and presentations on the go. You can also save photos and videos taken using your iPhone into the Dropbox. The app also allows you to share and send files via email or copy paste links to share with other apps and export Dropbox files to other iPhone apps. To be able to use this app, you must have a Dropbox account. In case you do not have one, you can create one right through this application for free. If you visit Dropbox.com, you can get online access to your data, and also upgrade the online storage to 100 GB. Now you will never run out of space on your Apple device.
