Lab Soft News, a blog presented by the Pathology Education Consortium (PEC), which describes the publication as an "Idea Factory for Pathology Informatics and the Clinical Laborator" has a lengthy post on the popularity of the iPhone's camera. PEC's president, Bruce Friedman MD wrote that the iPhone's camera is ranked as the fifth most popular one used to upload photos to the very popular Flickr service. Friedman said the statistic was "fascinating." One of his readers started a discussion about whether he'd use the iPhone to diagnose pathological diseases--I asked whether there would ever be a situation where he'd need to or want to do use an iPhone to do diagnose pathological diseases. 

Check out the post to add to the discussion and follow along as it develops.
