Hi,

We have an article on www.doctorsgadgets.com by Yelena Shneyder that covers what the differences between pocket pc and palm are and how to get started using a pda in your clinical work.

We've also got a list of links to other medical PDA sites on the links page http://www.newmediamedicine.com/DG/links.htm but I would recommend having a read through all the stuff at Ectopic Brain as well.

Other sites to have a look at are www.handheldmed.com and www.skyscape.com

Hope it helps,

Chris

PDA's, while not essential, are damn useful for clinical rotations/life/amusement. I use my drug database (epocrates) daily and the scheduling tool to keep track of lectures/call/free lunches.

Seriously, if you have $200 you can spend, go for it.
