« The eternal question: Palm versus Pocket PC in the Medical Setting | Main | PDAs with cameras ? »

May 28, 2004 06:12 PM
What do you have in your PDA

There are some pieces of software that we all have. ePocrates is one of those (for PalmOS at least, since the Pocket PC version is paid). But there are a lot of people who have less popular software, but they find it extremely useful. I would like to get some input from you guys, what medical software do you have installed in your PDA.

You can e-mail me (publish (at) medpda.net) or drop some comments. After a while I will post a list of the most used applications. Also make sure you tell me which platform you use (PalmOS / PocketPC / other).
