Darius Wey from PocketPCThoughts.com has published a review of Griffith's 5-Minute Clinical Consult 2006 with Diagnosaurus for the Pocket PC. He mostly has great things to say:
"There is a lot to love about the handheld version of 5MCC: zero bulk,
dynamic searching, and tight integration with the added Diagnosaurus
tool. If you're a medical student or physician who demands on-the-spot
facts for a huge number of clinical conditions, then Unbound Medicine's
