I've been told that our own Jude has received his copy of ePocrates for the Pocket PC, and that he has started his testing. While we're waiting for him and his friend Francesca to find out all about ePocrates and write his review, we can take a look at the review done by Nilay Shah, MD, on Medical Pocket PC. He likes what he sees, although the UI needs some touching up: "ePocrates on the Pocket PC has lived up to the standard set by its Palm OS ancestor. The information provided on individual drugs is complete enough for most clinical uses, the inclusion of formularies is extremely useful, and the program seems to work well, especially for a Version 1.0. I did not experience any crashes or glitches the entire time I've used it, meaning the developers really ironed out most of the glitches that can occur in any new software. You can see the Palm OS origins in this program in the distinct lack of color used in the interface. The essentially monochromatic program is a workhorse - it does the job, but it ain't pretty!"
