Mobile Phone Growth Helps Developing Countries U.N Says , can it do for health IT Too ?!

U.N. Says Mobile Phone Growth Helps Developing Countries : but is that will be the real start up for medical and health care application in those developing countries ?!

More than 60 percent of the world’s cell phone subscriptions are new in developing countries, according to a new United Nations report.

Therefor there are many free medical software for the recent generation of mobile phones as iPhone , Blackberry and even for older phones . regarding the increase of use of the hardware it should start up the need for more free software .

recently i published an article about free iPhone medical applications  , but iPhone is a new media generation mobile phone , though its easy to make an application  for it unlike the older mobile phones . but thats not available yet in most of the developing countries and no much free software for it – yet – but there are many assumption it’ll lead the next mobile applications development .

Many of professional and needed medical software for mobile applications are so expensive as liferecord EMR which is too much expensive regarding many developing countries . regarding most of the professional mobile applications i don’t believe the growth in mobile using will decrease the price as it’ll not motivate the people to create more free professional applications , even its more easier now ( Web developer can do it ) , the free incoming applications will not be that professional which will lead many of the users to look for more professional alternatives , so i assume it’ll be the time to get cracked application portals as a result for increase the need and decrease the professionalism of free mobile applications .

so can the mobile phone growth at developing countries will help growing of the medical application development ? or will increase the cracked and illegal application portals ?!
