Everybody in this business wants to make money. I would love to try their beta version, but from their posting, I'm too late for that chance. As for their competition, it is faster to look up drugs in my physician's handbook than to wait for Lexicomp server to respond to the initial signing-on effort.

Although the Epocrates info takes up lots of room, that's what cards are invented for and the searches on the device is nearly instantaneous. A lot of my fellow physicians have BlackBerrys (about the best device on the market to stay in contact and to be informed), and we are all suffering....
