Hi,
Thanks for the wonderful blog. I’m a senior Hematology-Oncology Fellow from Tampa, FL. I have been using PDAs since I graduated Med School in 1998. Palm III, then Visor Deluxe, then Treo 90, now Tungsten T3.

In terms of programs:
Calculators: Haemonc Rules (Best By Far, most useful); MedRules, Medmath (with Epocrates); Adjuvant! PDA program (adjuvantonline.com)
Drug Guides: Epocrates (like updates and pricing of meds that are included); Lexi-Drugs (more info)
Chemo Guides: OncoMD 04 (Comprehensive); Adverse event program from Amgen (received at Asco 2004); Chemo RX Plus (but no updates recently)
Staging: AJC TNM
Other: Documents to Go (ok for schedules, etc); Bonsai (for notes); Repligo (to read PDF Files, including NCCN guidelines).
For Fun: Audible (great service); Pocket Tunes (best player).
Anyway, I’ve managed to convert most of the fellows to using their device more often. I hope more MD’s use their PDA to maximize their patient care, not just keeping phone numbers and datebook.

Nice to hear from you Yousuf. Have sent you a Gmail invite. 5 more Gmail invites left folks!
Btw, glad to hear you like Haemoncrules. Just to let you know version 1.8 is ready but have been on vacation so will put it up for download when I get back home.
