Once you change the curtains, you have to paint the walls. I have a PALM IIIxe, which is a primitive version of the handheld PDA that now exists as a smartphone, mp3 player, and a digital camera. I changed my computer at work last month and suddenly realized that I had lost the software for the Palm operating system. A quick visit to Palm.com allowed me to witness all that I've been missing, but not having the money, or the need for anything more sophisticated, I decided to download some updated software for the operating system. Three hours later...I was wading through all the incredible sites that are available for the PDA. Avant go is a fabulous site, with hundreds of PDA friendly channels that can be updated each time you "hot sync." Here are some other great sites geared toward PDA users in the medical field:
- pdaMD -- great information about handheld resources for healthcare personnel
- epocrates -- handheld drug information database, including formulary and pricing info
- merck medicus mobile -- good resource for latest medical news with capacity to launch searches from your PDA
Of course, with all these great applications, I may have to upgrade my palm to a Treo 700 or Life Drive mobile manager. Some pretty expensive taste for such small hands!
