I can confirm Epocrates is up and running on classic using the setup.prc
run it in classic and it will sync up with epocrates server and download it!

You download this from get.epocrates.com while on a palm device. OR
by "tricking" the server into thinking you are on a palm device.

From a pretty old post in another forum: instructions for firefox (on your computer):
type in about:config in the title bar.
right click, select new/string. enter "general.useragent.override" for the preference, and "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; PalmSource/Palm-TunX; Blazer/4.3) 16;320x448" as the value.
this fools the server into thinking that you're connecting from a palm device.
navigate to get.epocrates.com
click "install now"
save to your location of choice, and move setup.prc to your classicapps folder on your pre.
Run classic on your pre and self-explanatory from here on.

*side-note: the syncing/downloading of the program on the pre did mess up the first time, which I think is because the screen turned off, so I had to restart the download and this time didn't let the screen turn off and it went smooth. Maybe because i had wifi on? not sure but that's what i did and it worked.

Also, navigating through Epocrates on the pre is a bit rough without a stylus!
