U.S. Government making mobile apps for smartphones

When's the last time you visited: http://apps.usa.gov/ to look at the latest mobile apps from the U.S. government?

If you visit that site, you'll find several pages of mobile apps like:
  • Product Recalls
  • My TSA
  • The White House
  • BMI Calculator
  • MedlinePlus Mobile
  • FBI's Most Wanted
  • My Food-a-Pedia
  • UV Index
Also, if you're rotating through a VA hospital, make sure to tell your patients that they should download and install the Veterans Affairs Mobile app. Actually, the VA Mobile app is not really an app. It's a mobile website that you can access by visiting: http://m.va.gov/

If you're a medical student and you're about to rotate through the VA, make sure you get familiar with the VA resources so that you'll impress your senior residents and attendings.

    That was a great find, especially the mobile USA.gov itself.

    Noticed the BMI and Foodapedia were iphone based so your readers may like to know about a free blackberry weight loss application available from WeightLossNYC in New York
