Finally, A Smartphone Ultrasound Attachment
Doctors: I wish they'd just give me the drugs I ask for. Plus they're expensive to visit. Want to save yourself some moolah the next time a stork puts a baby in that ass? Enter the smartphone ultrasound attachment. *lathering belly with grape jam* What? Well I'm not wasting the boysenberry!
Notice that the headline mentions a smartphone, rather than "your" smartphone. That's because Mobisante's recently released, smartphone-based MobiUS SP1 ultrasound device doesn't work with just any phone, but the now very dated (already two year-old) Windows Mobile 6.5-based Toshiba TG01 smartphone. Of course that doesn't make this device any less awesome, since it means that accurate and inexpensive point-of-care diagnostics are now much more mobile.
What the -- I've never even heard of a Toshiba TG01. Why am I even posting this? Not gonna lie, I heard ultrasound and thought this was gonna be about bats. "You mean echolocation?" I don't know what I mean anymore. $7,500 takes one home, which is like one doctor's visit when you're pregnant. Need a cheaper alternative? I've got you covered -- $4,000. "That's a microphone taped to an iPod." You drive a hard bargain, I can go as low as $2,000.

Thanks to Murphy, who has a bed named after her but not because she sleeps with a lot of guys. Don't get me wrong, she's been in more beds than cookie crumbs, that's just not why they named the bed after her (it's cool, I know her IRL).

The Lullabelly is a prenatal (I love those vitamins!) musical belt that pregnant women can strap on and connect to an MP3 player so they can play tunes to their babies while the little tykes are in utero. It's supposed to make them smarter or something but it will probably jus... / Continue →
