Use of mobile phone devices in medicine has become increasingly popular. The editors of nephrology on demand did a study to see if the mobile version of their website was being used a lot. 10% of their major hits were from apple based mobile devices and mostly US based. This allows for further data that a fair amount of physicians and trainees are using these devices to get information and browse useful websites. More studies and teaching tools using such devices should be needed.
