Skyscape v/s Epocrates

Some say skyscape product is better than epocrates and visa versa. I am confused, would definitely need some suggestion from you experts before I get pinned down by anyone of them

From our perspective, both apps are great. Hopefully other members (like palmdoc

) will come by and give you more specific recommendations and comparisons, 'cause people who use both apps on daily bases are the ones that can provide you with proper insight.

I am a regular user of Skyscape products. I think you should try that. They have some good stuffs and most of all their support is real awesome.

epocrates is one all inclusive program (at least if u get the Essentials) whereas if you get skycape, they have individual medical books/reference texts you can purchase separately. I use skyscape products

it really depends what you use each one for. Skyscape, while it has the drug database books, also has a whole-host of other things like all the emedicine articles, guidelines, antibiotics guides...everything is sorted out by popular books/websites. Epocrates on the other hand is a yearly subscription type thing, where the free component is only the drug database. For all the other stuff, you pay a yearly fee. I personally use epocrates only for the free drugs and have a variety of skyscape programs for reference on various subjects.

I use ePocrates daily to check if medication are covered by specific insurance plans, check drug interactions and (online version) to help patients identify pills they take. I definitely prefer one integrated application. They have a specific application/database for psychiatry, online CME and they have clinical updates/articles (you get a blurb when you update via hotsync and will get the full article/update via email).

The version with all the bells and whistles costs an annual subscription, but various pharmaceutical companies have offered a year's subscription when you register at their websites for patient assistance programs or whatever.

is epocrates is being developed for webos version or I have to pay $ 30 to get classic emulator to run it?
I really think palm should provide classic emulator free to palm users to stay in competition.
