Thinklabs Stethoscope App I can't say that I've tried this app as at this cost I simply can't afford it just to play. That said this app was discussed as one of the many ways iPhones and other smart mobile devices can be used to get medical help to those who don't have access to doctors. We learned that in Tanzania there are 50,000 people for every doctor so using a mobile device to help nurses and others with diagnosis can quite literally save lives. Another app that is coming looks into ears to check on infections and share with doctors. Check out the great things these developers are doing for a truly inspirational look at how technology is being used to save lives. Fantastic!

TED You probably know TED and frankly this app is more for the after effects of TEDx withdrawl than for the event itself. That said having this on your phone is a must from what I can see. You already have your phone in your pocket, why not keep some inspiration there too?

Foursquare You are at TED and that means you're probably a geek. It means you're surrounded by geeks. Wouldn't it be nice to know what geeks are nearby?

HootSuite for Twitter & Facebook If you go to a TED event you owe us. No really. You see to get in you have to be one of the lucky chosen few to win the ticket lottery- a chance to buy a ticket. Many of us won't get in. For that reason alone you need to share what you're hearing so we can "be there" too. This is my fav tool for tweeting out and because I tweet from many accounts the full version of this is a must for me.
