Cellular phone technology and additional hardware were integrated into personal digital assistants1 and they evolved into smartphones. The installation of high-speed cellular networks with near-universal coverage has allowed these devices to show their full potential, which also benefits users in the medical community. Long-term Evolution technology (LTE), the high end of the fourth generation (4G) of mobile networks, offers speeds up to a hundred times faster than 3G. Currently, 64% of US physicians own smartphones, but this is predicted to increase to 81% penetration by 2012.2
