Epocrates is one of the largest drug index data bases in the world and it has taken a huge stake in the mobile space. It is one of the most popular drug reference guides on almost every platform ranging from the previous Palm OS to the iPhone. There was rumor that Epocrates was working with Palm on an app for the Pre all the way back in February. Once the Pre came out it seemed like that rumor was talking about how you can install the app with Classic. People have been begging for Epocrates on WebOS and so far what we have been getting is emails back from them explaining to us how to install Epocrates via the Classic Emulator on the Pre. This may be enough for some but we wanted a native app that runs directly on the WebOS platform and comes directly from the App Catalog. Well that time is finally coming. We heard directly from Epocrates, and they say that the people have spoken and they can hear us. They are working on a native WebOS version of Epocrates and they say it will be out before the end of the year. Nurses and doctors and med students all over can rejoice. Epocrates is an amazing tool to help discover pharmaceuticals and their purposes. Check out Epocrates website here for more details on what they are all about. They currently have no details posted on their site about the WebOS version of their app but it is coming and we all eagerly await its arrival.
