SATELLIFE Seeks Used PDAs

Posted by timothy on from the wring-use-from-it dept.

linuxwrangler writes "Upgraded your PDA this Christmas or just have one gathering dust? SATELLIFE is accepting donations of used PDAs for use by doctors in the poorest countries. The PDAs, when loaded with programs such those from Epocrates have become an invaluable resource for physicians in the remote areas of developing and impoverished countries. SATELLIFE's work earned them a 2004 laureate from the Tech Museum of Innovation."
