Seriously?

That response has gone the way of the wild west outlaw; not a PDA to be found. They still look to computer brain extenders, but desktops are so pervasive and so much more workflow efficient, residents now head for the nearest PC (and, usually Google.) I'm not convinced of the work-routine-value of current medical apps via smart phones yet.

I saw that product demo'd at the TEPR EMR challenge. It's fast, intuitive, and comprehensive -- like eCW on steroids. Not sure about their customer base or client services, but the EMR is impressive.
