wikipedia online works just fine on the phone, just set the view to "column"
i don't know about how much better a program would be, since you'd likely still have to open IE to create the connection... but I'll give them a try anyway and see!

Arrow Medical Programs

I am currently a med student and have downloaded epocrates (http://www2.epocrates.com/index.html), diagnosaurus (http://books.mcgraw-hill.com/medical...us/index.html), checkRx (http://www.skyscape.com/estore/Produ...ProductId=1189) and Archimedes (http://www.skyscape.com/EStore/Produ...oductID=227%20) - these are all free programs that have some great info.

I have installed them on my storage card due to the memory requirements. I have only had problems with epocrates. I don't really know why but it's tends to be sluggish. Since it's the demo version, there are only some features available.

Hope that helps

{By the way, i LOVE this phone, especially with the new update}

I frequently use Epocrates at work, mainly just to identify drugs I am not familar with. Works great for this use.

I use Epocrates. It is a little tedious on the initial sync that loads all the info but after that it works just fine. I use the Pro version that you pay for.

epocrates

My wife is a PA and uses Epocrates along with a few others for work also. She tells me that ever since we moved the program to the memory card it runs slower but acceptable. The other programs moved to the memory card to not seem to be affected as much.....
