Agreed J. And no this is not personal Physboy. Wording can lead to misperseption. When we write we must remember we are writting for others and not ourselves. Something everyone forgets once in a while. I'd drink with all here.

Ladies, quit bickering. We are here to share our personal opinions, experiences, etc. No one person is right or wrong. You both have experience in the medical field in one way or the other. Each opinion is valid and people will learn from both. I have always encouraged honest opinions and I have always encouraged challenging those opinions. It is how we grow. You guys hit on some great points. Now lets buy each other a drink

Really???

You want to turn this into a personal thing? What I don't understand is why on earth you would take an interjection to the topic, which was not PRO iPhone, as an offense to which you suddenly feel entitled to start pitchin' a hissy fit, and making inaccurate criticisms followed by ad hominem attacks!

I was told by JDoss that comments which were contrary as well as pro on any given topics were welcome at this site. You are making it quite clear that under NO circumstances is anyone, in particular me since you are clearly partaking in ad hominem attacks against me to ad nauseam, allowed to post ANY comments which are not OVERTLY congratulatory or PRO iPhone in nature.

Give me a break, dude. You are waaay out of line.

BTW, just so you know, the double post just before your most recent attack was an accident. I was under the impression that the first of the two did not go through. It also appears that someone took out the comment where I made that clear and appologized for it. Hmmmm...

@Physboy 1) You have a very snide and slick way of giving backwards compliments. And your comments here did nothing but appear to take shots at the whole point of my article. At no time did I mention hardware but you had to make a point that specialized hardware is obsolutely necessary. Therefore you opened yourself to critism. This is a constant pattern in your writing and discussions on issues you don't agree with or simply don't understand which has grown rather tiresome at this point.

2) No one is trying to “fanboy you to death” as you put it but you yourself are far from object and it shows every time. In the end you spent way to much energy explaining yourself. Get a grip and listen to yourself some time.

@iphonedocked

Don't iPhan me to death!!

You do not understand me. Your claims are regarding a scenario which is not the same scenario that I am talking about. My statements were regarding a scenario for which you are missing two important points:

A) I have been referring to a relationship of one to many regarding device and end users respectively. In the clinical and field environments for the medical industry there is a need for a single device to be shared among many users throughout the day to reduce costs.The scenario which Wyatt and yourself are referring to is a one to one relationship between the device and user.

B) Products which are natively ruggedized, E.g. (Ugly Symbol WinCe devices, as if looks were not a total strawman. lol), have a warranty which covers the rough & tumble activities for which the hardware is designed. This includes the device that is natively being protected. In no part of any of the warranties for the peicewise ruggedization solution of an iPhone (or any other non-natively ruggedized device) and ruggedized hardware add-ons is the protected device covered for rough & tumble activities. You can view the OtterBox warranty for yourself here: http://www.otterbox.com/warranty

Bottom line is that for clinical, and field environments in the medical industry where there is a cost need for a one to many relationship between devices and users respectively, the iPhone (or any other non-ruggedized device) is not an appropriate solution. Otherwise the iPhone or other solutions would be fine as I stated earlier.

Hope that clears it up.
