Pocket PCs have a bright future in many industries, among them the medical industry.
"The use of hand-held Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) for scheduling, email, note taking and storing addresses and phone numbers, has become increasingly popular in recent years. In May 2001, Harvard Medical School announced that it would be the first educational institution in the US to adopt PDAs as the information standard, in effect entering a post-PC era1. PDAs have the potential to play an important role in curriculum delivery and daily clinical activities of medical students and staff. Their compact size is convenient for clinical students who have to move from location to location to see patients. The PDA can keep them on track and help reduce some of their anxieties so they can focus on learning." Source: Paul R.
