Epocrates (beta) for WebOS coming real soon is here!
Spies in Precentral say Epocrates for webOS Imminent
The app is actually out in a beta to a small group of testers. Some have publicly commented in our forums that the app is “FAST,” while anonymously we hear that the app will include the standard Epocrates features plus Med Math, Interactions, their pill finder, and plenty of tables. The app, as you can see at right, also follows the webOS ethic of “just start typing” to search everything.
Since webOS can, you know, fully multitask, medical professionals will be able to leave the app open in the background (where we’re told it doesn’t appear to consume much in the way of resources) to give it faster access than what is available on the iPhone platform.
Mullrat in our forums says that an Epocrates rep said the app was submitted to Palm for approval – so all we need do now is wait. Luckily webOS users have plenty of practice in that regard.

Webos version of Epocrates is very nice. Other than loading time, it’s fast and easy to use. Pill ID is great and shows what epocrates can do with more powerful OS. Much better than prior palm os efforts. The update function is not finalized yet (this is still functional) but otherwise completely functional. Excellent version.
