My husband is looking for something easy to use but very powerful. Price isn't really an issue. Thanks!

I've got the Palm TX, pretty happy with it. Enough internal memory to hold Epocrates and Merck Medicus and it has WiFi too.

If I had a choice I would stay away from the HP iPAQ 2700 series, but this is what the school provided us for rotations & it mostly works.

I usually have to soft reset my iPAQ at least 2-3x q day & the only programs I have & use are ActiveSync, Epocrates, & a patient logging program that the school requires us to use.

Anecdotally, the older iPAQ's do not have the problems that the newer models do for some reason. I would expect this issue to be resolved w/ the ones coming out b/c I know that HP has heard about it from one largest physician groups in my state that uses only HP iPAQs.

Bought a Cingular 8525 and unlocked it for T-Mobile. I prefer PocketPC over Palm, but the TX is awesome too. I like the 8525 because it is a phone and has slide-out keyboard. Screen is a bit small, but great PDA/Phone.
