You want a PDA...

What do I recommend?
It was very hard for me to choose a specific product but, when choosing what to buy consider that health-related resources generally have high memory requirements. Most PDAs have the capacity to add memory but not all resources will run on the expanded memory. Check the memory requirements for resources you're interested in downloading and buy a PDA with as much built in memory as you can afford.

Palm or Pocket PC?
I own a palm myself so, yes I do recommend Palm products over Pocket PCs because more drug information is available for Palms and, memory, power, and batteries are not an issue.
Handheld or Smartphone?
I think we can all agree that Smartphones look very fancy but, while Smartphones do give you the capability of staying connected with other people and combining phone and handheld in one this means that you give up something. Things that you give up are memory and money. So if you are buying a PDA for Drug Information Software, I recommend to stick to just a Handheld.

Which Handheld do I recommend?
Palm TX
The Palm TX offers a more affordable solution that should please a wide range of users, both professional and casual. Aside from built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, the TX crams a long list of features and solid performance into a sleek package that can go head-to-head with its Windows Mobile counterparts.
