Pharmacy student needs a PDA!!!

[kwoolley]

Hi all!! This is a question for anyone who can help me....I am a pharmacy school student getting ready to begin my clinical rotations. I am going to purchase a pda soon, but I have no clue as to which would be a good one for me to buy. I know I will be needing to download things such as epocrates and micromedex and a medical dictionary, facts and comparisons...etc. I am wondering what benefits a pocket pc would give me as compared to others. Basically, I just need some good advice. I would appreciate any help!!

Thank you!!

First off, do NOT get a ppc. It is a horribly inefficient operating system, is more expensive, and does not have close to even a third as much software as Palm OS has. I suggest a Sony Clie becasue they tend to give you more for your money. I would say you would use, on the lower end, an sj20, or on the higher end, a t665c. If you want to go all out, consider the Sony NX60 or NX70v or the Palm Tungsten. I personally prefer the feature-laden NX series.
