Ok guys, you wanted the best, you got the best. #1 go to amazon and get on of the refurbished Palm lifedrive mobile managers. They have a 4gb hard drive, wifi, blutooth, sd card slot, 416 mhz processor. There are nothing wrong with these refurbished units; Palm quit making them so this is the only place you can get them. Price: $250.
#2 For software, the musthaves are: Fast Facts for nurses from Kathy White learning systems, Tarscons pharmacopeia, Merck Medicus (free) which includes a lab manual, Harrison's Practice, and the Merck manual (all for free). I promise you won't be disappointed. Email me if you have any questions.

I highly recommend a pocket pc. Much nursing programs have been written that platform not to mention 'free' programs.

ANY pocket pc enabled cellphones will suffice. That includes DOPOD, HTC, O2 etc. I have mine 2 years ago for about $300. Right now I'm using Saunder's Q&A, Lippincott NCLEX-RN, Davis RN-NCLEX, Frye's Nursing Bullets, Tabers Medical Encyclopedic Dictionary and a few others. You can even get some second pocket pc enabled cellphone for under $100 and one can upgrade it to windows 2006 for an updated Operating system (seems like having a brand new cellphone). My brother got his XDA2 (MDAIII) for $150.
