PDA which one

The iPod Touch is becoming quite popular for nurses, and there is certainly a wealth of software (medical and otherwise) available for it. However, it does not use a stylus. Input is via onscreen keyboard. Current cost of an 8gb Touch is about $220, although I've seen them sold for as little as $180.

We had to buy the Palm PDA for school, but if I could have gone back, I would rather have the Ipod Touch....it's very awkward for me to use the stylet, IMO the touch has a better user interface.....uploading onto the palm was a PITA also....my suggestion is to go to a store and play around with the PDA's....

What is a PDA ?

Personal Digital Assistant

I have and love, love, love the Palm LifeDrive.
Huge memory and simple to use. Very long battery life, and the memory is expandable with a simple (and cheap) SD Card.
The desktop application makes it really easy to enter client addresses then sync them.
Supports a scaled down version of Word (I write a lot of notes during down time then sync them over and print them). It also supports pfd format.

It does all of the stuff you listed and more.

I don't even bother lugging my laptop to half my cases because of it.

It is a little bigger than other Palms
Palm still fully supports it on their website but I couldn't find it at the Palm 'store' on their website. A fast google showed me it can be bought new on Amazon for $200.

Thanks
