As an ‘early adopter’ of the iPhone 3G (at least for the medical community), Palmdoc has asked me to write about my experiences using the new phone/PDA/iPod/messianic machine. Just to give you an introduction, I am a pediatrician who is primarily a clinical researcher in a subspecialty. Therefore, my clinical work comprises less than 10% [...]
Following the availability of iSilo for the iPhone, Andrew “MeisterMed” Schechtman has made some changes to his site to cater to iPhone users:
To make your life easier, I’ve created a special page on MeisterMed to let you download some of our most popular medical references directly to your iPhone. To get these once you [...]
Kirk from Harvard beamed up to Palmaddicts his experience with the TX as a medical device. I think Kirk is lucky that he could still find a replacement TX for the one which died. However Palm has not given any indication if it will still produce PDAs for those who don’t want to take the [...]
iSilo for the iPhone has been released and is now for sale on the App Store. It costs only $9.99 and at that price, it is a bargain for the leading medical ebook reader.
Hat tip to Chris Meadows for the breaking news.
Like Chris I prefer iSilo over Mobipocket. Although the latter is free, it is [...]

If any PDA tempts me to go Windows Mobile, I think it would be the Treo Pro. Just launched in the US, this looks like a very well designed device by Palm (from pictures I’ve seen it looks slimmer than the Centro!) and considering it has high speed 3G/HSDPA, Wifi, GPS and all the bells [...]
One of the reasons for staying with the PalmOS platform is the strong organiser and PIM features: Calendar, Contacts, Tasks and Memos. If you use an application like Agendus, then everything gels brilliantly together. Memos for doctors would be akin to keeping your “peripheral brain” in your mobile device. I’ve got hundreds of Memos collected [...]

Suprising news that Dmitry Grinberg Gets C&D’d by Palm. How picky can you get? Going after your loyal supporters even when you have abandoned development of your older products sounds to me like a baaad thing to do. Dmitry is a great developer and I am one of his registered users. In fact long after [...]
Suppose you were a PDA purist who doesn’t want to go down the convergence pathway. If you have an old Palm TX or Dell Axim which is about to die, what are your options today? Very limited indeed. I think HP has a few models, but Dell and Palm have stopped making PDAs.
I was thinking, [...]
