Awesome, I don't know if this will increase the sales of GetItNow-capable cell phones. But it is really a great achievement and I am sure will assist in decisions being made concerning medications.

Cool. I never heard of this until today. Seems like it would be ideal for seniors who are on a lot of medications. But how many seniors do you know who have cell phones?

That's what I'm wondering, Melanie. Those that are tech-savvy could just as easily hop on the internet to look up various medications. I guess the only time where this phone would really work out well is while in the doctor's office when he/she is prescribing or discussing various medicines to try.

That's pretty cool. I guess it makes the world a safer place since you will be able to research pills on the go. :)

It's a great idea especially if you don't have access to a computer. We should be able to find out all kinds of information about the medications we take.

I know there's a similar application for Palm phones, but I wonder if the other cell companies are going to do the same.
