Well, as of right now, the only way to use most of the med apps is through Garnet VM (a palm pilot emulator of sorts).

If you're just looking for a drug guide, there's several available.

AHFS Drug Information provides the more extensive evidence-based data than any other drug reference but comes with a hefty price tag.

There's also DrDrugs Drug Guide for Physicians that offers over 800 Integrated Calculators. It combines the most comprehensive, up-to-date and practical drug resource with built in drug dosing calculation tools for most weight or body surface area based dosing. The latest update is based on the 2008 print edition with additional features, enhanced functionality and ongoing updates if you register for the product.

There's also the 5 Minute Medical Consult and Merck Manual which are extremely nice to have.

As for UptoDate, the only way to have that displayed on your tablet is by running it on your home computer and then using something like VNC viewer. It's not that bad to do it this way but you might not like the idea of having your computer open to outside spectators.

Yeah, it's a lot to go through, but if I have the time, my offer to help is still there.

Cheers.
