Resources for handhelds

To mark the availability of BMJ via the Palm PDA (click here to sign up for free six month trial) we have decided to compile a list of medical resources available for hand held devices.

Which is where you come in.

If you have found a particular resource useful please let us know.

Details of the following would help other users:

  • what it does
  • from where it may be downloaded
  • whether it's free or for payment
  • for which operating system(s) it was designed (Palm OS?, Windows? CE, Pocket PC)
  • How it is useful
  • Who it is for (doctors, other health care professionals, students)
  • We may introduce a rating system for resources, but for now we merely want to draw up as comprehensive a list as possible.

    See suggestions so far.

    Thank you.
