@Hand Medical Technologies, Inc Releases New Palm OS Reader for the @Hand Medical Reference Library Updated 7:09 PM ET March 2, 2000 LITTLE ROCK, Ark., March 2 /PRNewswire/ -- @Hand Medical Technologies, Inc, developer of electronic medical reference texts for the Palm OS(R) and Windows CE(R) devices, today announced the release of its highly anticipated Palm OS reader version 4.04. The new reader adds enhanced support for electronic indexing and offers support for customers who wish to utilize devices with CompactFlash(TM) capability. Although @Hand technology is renowned for its sophisticated compression engine, Palm OS customers remained limited by memory available on their hardware device. The release of the reader coincides with the release of a number of memory expandable hardware devices. The Handspring Visor offers users a proprietary memory upgrade, and the recently released TRGpro allows customers to add virtually unlimited memory to their Palm OS device through implementation of industry standard CompactFlash technology. Dave Snider, President of @Hand Medical Technologies, commented, "We are excited to offer our customers this technology which will enable them to choose the size and composition of their library. As we publish more authoritative and comprehensive references, many customers have been hampered by the memory limitations of their hardware device. We anticipate that busy health care providers will now be able to complete their reference library, and to have the critical reference information they need at all times." George Wood, Vice President and General Manager of TRG added, "This software solution will enable health professionals everywhere to take advantage of the TRGpro handheld and store, in an inexpensive convenient format, the reference information critical to their practice." TRG is the first company to offer a Palm OS handheld, which features CompactFlash (CF) memory expansion, without disrupting the form factor that has made Palm Computing(TM) the market leader today.
