Education Pricing
So over the last few weeks I've been working my medical school on how to obtain affordable PDAs. We're looking at Palm devices so I'll keep my comments directed to that. We found that while Palm may not discount the devices on a per unit base, we learned that there are some great discounts from Palm when bought en mass. One example is that if you help organize a sale and place an order for 500 units, they give you 72 for free. So when do the math, the per unit price is $224.75, way cheaper than any wholesaler could find you. If you want to organize a successful sale, I'd recommend contacting everyone from medical students, to residents, to fellows, to attending, to staff, to nursing. You'd be amazed by how many respsonses you can get from a few emails and a few posters in some strategic places (ie cafeteria, locker room, recovery room, break rooms, etc..)
