PubMed search for "smartphone"

A few years ago, a PubMed search for "smartphone" would have yielded very few results. Today, a search on PubMed for "smartphone" yields over 400 results with the oldest reference being from 2005. Were you a smartphone user in 2005? Maybe you were still using a PDA.

Remember that the Apple iPhone was introduced in 2007 and that disruptive technology changed the world of smartphones and mobile computing. A PubMed search for "iPhone" currently results in over 170 publications.

Here are some of the more recent PubMed articles that will show up if you perform a search for "smartphone." The first 2 publications explore the diagnostic inaccuracy (not accuracy, but inaccuracy) of mobile apps that are designed to detect melanoma.
