I'll get mine now.

 

I'm an apple girl in all things technical except my phone. I haven't bought the iphone yet, due in great part to a profound reticence to having to learn yet another technical tool. I like my tech tools well enough, but they're just that to me, tools not toys, and as such I come to resent them when they cause me more work in the process of "helping me out". But today's announcement by apple and lifescan about this groovy, new diabetes app (scroll to the middle of the post), will most certainly be the thing that tips me into buying the iphone. Period, no question, no doubt, done deal. Nicely designed (of course), simple to use and thankfully, not very "medical" feeling overall, this app looks like it will let me do what I need to do, seamlessly, throughout my day. What a concept! The only downside here is having to wait until June! 

Thanks to engadget and Alex for the original heads up. You just made my day!

AWESOME!! I'm totally psyched about this. Come June, I'm sooo there! I've been wanting an iPhone anyway, but couldn't justify it, so this just pushed it over the edge for me! yipee!
