Searching PubMed on Handhelds

If you frequently search PubMed while on the go from your handheld, you may notice that using your handheld’s web browser can be a bit cumbersome. Did you know that there is a scaled down interface
available for free from the NLM particularly for use on handhelds? It can be accessed here: http://pubmedhh.nlm.nih.gov/.

iPhone and iPod Touch users may also be interested in purchasing the PubMed On Tap app from the iTunes store. This app costs $2.99, but it provides a very user-friendly search interface that even allows for using Boolean operators and recalling recent search activity. You can try out this app for free by downloading the lite version from the iTunes store; however the lite version only displays the first 5 results of your search.
