Technology mac bootcamp windows mobile PDA

[deleted59964]

so epocrates dont make a mac version for windows mobile, only mac for palm.

I'm going to buy a PDA and a new intel mac very soon. Can I sync an axim PDA with iCal on a regular basis, but use bootcamp/Windows (or parallels or crossover) to get the windows version of epocrates for windows mobile to work on the PDA.

I know, that's a mouthful

I just want to use windows to set up epocrates once on the PDA, then use MacOS to sync with the PDA daily - is this possible or does the pda somehow get "formatted" or something for use with either windows or mac???

Something tells me it's not going to be possible.

Write ePocrates and request that they make a Mac/Win Mobile combination. I think PalmOS is dying off so fast that there will be a significant need for it soon enough.

Here's who to write:

Kirk Loevner, Chairman & CEO
Robert Quinn, Senior VP (Engineering) (when writing a letter, he has a PhD)

Epocrates, Inc.
1800 Gateway Drive
Suite 300
San Mateo, CA 94404

By the way, Loevner was a former leader of Apple's software division.

thanks southerndoc! shall do.
i guess I'll try parallels and see - otherwise I'll have to administer my pda from windows (bootcamp)

PS -
just ordered my MBP 15" C2D with 2 gig RAM and 256Mb X1600
I'd been hoping for a small version, but I'm sick of waiting

I'm still holding out for a 12" MacBook Pro. I have a feeling it won't be produced, but I'm still hoping.

I'm also writing a letter to ePocrates in hopes it will prompt them to add Windows Mobile/Mac support. It shouldn't be too hard to design the software to be compatible.
