HI!
I'm going to buy a PDA and don't know how to choose right os for medical use. It would be nice what your recomend not only os but and real pda (like hp2790).That pda should have bluetooth and WiFi too. Thanks in advance.

well to pass on my experience and recent forum advice I've received.... it depends. I have long used Palm(but intermittently0 and find it very intuitive to use. The Pocket PC OS seemd slightly less intuitive to me 9 only a browser not a user yet)but probably easily picked up as well. With the recent addition of Up to Date on Palm, most clinical programs are available. AS with any hardware/software decision you "work backwards" starting at the application(s) desired , then the best application software, then the best configured/compatible hardware for that. Account for any desk top/laptop/system interface as well. My suggestion if this is a whole new plunge is try both, if possible, get the one that works more intuitively and get a recently surpassed top end model at discount as your first "learner model" to get started. EPocrates or/and Up-to-date should be first priorities for software purchase. but don't skip mastering the basic features initially in a disciplined manner to appreciate the capabilities.
