Where is the killer app?
by Andrew P. Ho on Wednesday January 03, @05:57PM

PDAs are just not so compelling. I have a Palm PDA but I find it useless as a "medical" tool. Also, they are much more limited in capabilities compared to desktop systems. However, if they permit mobile access to critical functions, then perhaps a lot more physicians will choose to carry them. Note that many physicians don't even use their desktop computers for patient care!

Simply put, there is no "must-have" medical application on the PDA yet. I think these "eBook" applications (e.g. drugs and interactions) are useful but hardly critical for patient care.
