so it's been a long time since I've stalked the forums but in searching for a specific answer, I'm really surprised not to see a review here on tablets and EMRs. As I start my 2nd year of combined IM-Peds and have educational money to spend, I would LOVE to get a tablet to use on rounds. I HATE THE IPAD AND ALL APPLE PRODUCTS mostly because they refuse to use any external slots for expanding memory, you can't run office to edit ppt presentations, and if you jailbreak their OS, it voids your warranty. That being said, it works really well with Cerner, which is what our health system uses. Most residents in my program do use the iPad, so I know that it works.
I am very interested in the Motorola xoom and have been very impressed with my hubbie's Atrix droid phonewhich is essentially the same in terms of touch screen, hardware, etc.... Does anyone have experience using this device or other Droid based tablet with a Citrix based EMR (Cerner, Epic....)? Again, I know that the iPad works, but I really, really hate Apple. I don't want to waste my education fund if the xoom or similar device doesn't work.
Thanks!!
