I agree as well. My first PDA was an IPAQ which is WinMobile based. I have Epocrates Essentials and loved it...until I got my iphone. It is so much more user friendly, more compact, has tons of useful medical related apps and fun apps...I have my calendar, email and everything all in one. The only difference is the symptom assessment function of Epoc is not supported by iphone..I really liked that function and lost it when I switched...however, the user friendliness and other perks of the iphone more than make up for it.

I've been a nurse for 8 yrs and am currently in a Masters FNP program. Although, I applaud you for desiring to join the field of nursing and for your wonderful experience in emergency medicine, I believe that you need some experience as a nurse before becoming a NP. Although, many people think so...NP's are not the same as PA's nor are we "mini-doctors". We are nurses, with advanced training and skills. To be a good NP and truly understand the NP philosophy you have to first understand nursing philosophy...it is very different than EMT, PA, or physician philosophy. That takes experience as an RN. If you don't want to be a nurse...you may need to consider PA. Although, I will be an NP, I am first and foremost a nurse.
