| Hi. Perspectives from a pediatrician — here are the Palm applications I use most often: General medical: Clinical Medicine Consult (with iSilo), Pepid, Merck (with free journal access). Drug databases: Pepid, Harriet Lane, Prescriber’s Letter PDA version (and about to delete the “free, gift subscirption” to ePocrates Pro which arrived anonymously — just don’t trust its feedback to ePocrates central, and I still don’t know who paid for it to track my look-up activities. Also extreme RAM hog). Pediatric specific: Kidometer (Riley Children’s Hospital), Harriet Lane, AAP Red Book (with free Highwire journal access). Freeware: Growth-BP (formerly stat-Growth), Shots 2004, CDC 2002 STD Guidelines (iSilo), PregWheel, Stat-Hypertension JNC-7, CDC TB Guidelines Misc: Natural Database (CAM modalities), Mobipocket Medical Spanish Plus, Pocket OBG. PDA: Tungsten-C with 512MB SD card. And love it’s Wi-Fi ability to surf and check e-mail in my local cafe. |
Thanks for the contribution Richard. I agree the Tungsten C is a great Wifi capable PDA. Now with the Wifi SD Card I appreciate the ability to surf and check email too but I do find it a tad bit inconvenient to swop SD cards. I need Bluetooth however as I rely on it to communicate with my phone (an SE t610) for SMS and GPRS internet access where there is no Wifi. So please, please palmOne, do release a dual wireless PDA!!
A free Gmail invitation goes out to Richard for writing in. I have 6 Gmail invitations left, so if you want to grab these, just write in and share your Palm medical experiences!
