Ugg...I'm a geek.
That was the theme from Legend of Zelda, a video game series. Ocarina of Time was released in 1998 for the Nintendo 64. Yes, I've played it.
I was an early epocrates user. It rocked. Yeah, it tracks what we click on and sends it to drug companies...so what. Sometimes when I'm bored I'll click on random meds I've never heard of just to screw with them. I still have it on my phone (need it at Hudson). The web site is fine but I have to sign up. At Regions, it's now in Epic and I'm on that more than my phone.
I spent a long time on the Twitter thing (~2hours), so I made up for it on this Thing (20 minutes, tops). I'd already read all the articles referenced when I was shopping. I own a Droid, on the android platform. I have a few medical apps, but I rarely used them. Epic does most of what I need.
Why did a pick a droid? I have verizon and like it. It has coverage in important areas for me. When I was shopping, there was no talk of any iPhone other than AT&T, so iPhone was a nonstarter. Also, I have a iPod, and find iTunes slow and annoying. My husband just got a Palm Pre and loves it. It definitely has a nice form factor. My 3 month old droid looks big and clumsy next to it.
I am rarely more than 3 feet from my droid. I track expenses, shop, play games, manage email, IM's, calendars and to-do lists. I have apps that entertain my children. I web browse. It's my alarm clock. And I just figured out how to make the Imperial Death March from Star Wars my ring tone. Ahhh...mobile technology.

We had no idea that the tune was from a video game. Thanks! Also great comments on the why you purchased a droid over an iphone. Star Trek alert--We just attended a Technology Conference for Librarians at Macalester last week. Star Trek was mentioned a lot! In fact every time Star Trek was mentioned there was a lot of people nodding knowingly to one another.
