How to Run Palm Programs on a Pocket PC

Many physicians have migrated to Pocket PC/Windows Mobile PDAs and abandoned the good old faithful Palms.

The only problem is that most of us still have at least 2-3 well trusted Palm-only programs that regrettably do not work on Pocket PC. The solution is StyleTap -- a new application for Windows Mobile that enables you to run Palm software on Windows PDAs. You can download a free 14-day trial version. The full program is $ 30 (via MedPDA.net).

iSilo for Pocket PC

This program will allow you to run some of the best Palm tools on your Pocket PC. Palm Brain for Easy Interpretation of EKGs (download here) and the UCSF Hospitalist Handbook are just a few free Palm programs that work seamlessly on Windows PDAs with the new iSilo ($ 20).

Multi IE

This Pocket IE browser enhancement is a definite must-have for your internet-enabled Pocket PC. You can open multiple windows, view a full screen mode and many more. Multi IE sits on top of Pocket IE and provides a multitude of features. Download the 15-day trial version to see for yourself (the full version is $ 18). Multi IE was a finalist in the Pocket PC Magazine 2004 Awards.
