The Palm Pilot M500 Series / Tungsten-T are the standard at this time. Support includes installation and maintenance of Palm operating system, AvantGo (PDA Central resources), ePocrates, Acrobat Reader (Version 2.0), backup Utility, Afaria and eRounds.

Research is underway regarding startegies for synching with desktop applications such as Groupwise.

The Ohio State University Medical Center/College of Medicine and Public Health Information Systems Department, will not provide replacements for lost or broken PDAs. Also, lost, broken, or stolen styluses will not be replaced.

The Student Educational Services/PDA Ofiice does provide a limited loaner pool and is able to switch out units that are under warranty and cannot be fixed on - site (applies only to what is covered under palm's warranty agreement)
