Free Up Memory with Epocrates Memory Management

Finally, physicians have a way to free up memory from one of the most popular physician software applications---ePocrates. This software normally takes up at least 5MB on a Palm OS device and at least 3MB on Windows devices. Previously, it had to be installed in main memory and took up valuable memory space. Now you can move it to the card. See directions in the support section at ePocrates by searching on "memory management." Thanks ePocrates!

New Windows Mobile Treo is Rumored

I still use a Treo 750P and find it very adequate for running the majority of my medical applications, serving as a phone and pager, and keeping my calendar. Unfortunately, I'm very near the top end of my memory (approx. 60MB on the Palm version), and have always wanted more memory. There are a few ways you can maximize your memory: ePocrates can now be moved to the card from their menu interface, and all reference materials should reside on your card. However, there are still many applications that just won't work well (or at all) on the card. Therefore, rumors of a new high-end Treo 800W might solve some of these issues. It is rumored to have 256MB of memory (although this is Windows memory, so may be only slightly more than the 60MB of Palm memory, depends on the applications your run). It is also supposed to have Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, eGPS, a 2.0MP camera, and many other great features. Stay tuned, and we will keep you updated on this device. In the meanwhile, read more about it here.
