My mom needs a PDA. I need help picking one.

Or something of the like,
My mom is a home heath care nures and has massive amounts of paper work to do almost everyday. She is looking for somthing that is handheld that she can store patient information untill she gets home to do all of her work instead of having to do it durring the day and after work. I have no experience with things of this nature and am working about 50+ hours a week and have little time to research for her, or any idea where to start. I have looked into the life drive mobile manage, but i am not sure about it. The only requirment is that is be user friendly. she is not the most computer/tech. person in the world. Anybody with any suggestions please post.

Send a message via MSN to doctorgonzo
If this is for health care, she should talk to the other nurses/doctors and see what they use. I know of lots of people in the health care industry who have special references/applications on their PDAs, so if her place of employment uses some of these, it is important to get a PDA that is compatible with these programs.

not really a pda, but my dad uses a blackberry all the time for the legal work he does, and the fact that you can open up excell/word docs is pretty usefull. also isnt the size of a pda, but a drawback is no touchscreen
