How are they on the palm? Is worth to purchase? And of these 3 which one is the best: Stedman's, Taber's or Dorland's

Originally bought for my PocketPC in 2001 before I switched back to a Palm--it works on Palm as well. It is okay but a little slow coming off the memory stick on my T615 (probably just a T615 limitation). If I were buying a new one I would probably go with Stedman's just because I like that one in print form.
As a student, I use the dictionary every day. I would highly recommend buying one.

The one that's worked for me in about 99% of situations has been BDicty's Medical Dictionary. $25 (maybe less? Can't recall), and unless you need something fancy like Stedmans et al, it's a good one. Like I said, only one or two words I couldn't find so far (ie, klismaphilia...found it eventually...ew)

I also use BDicty. Maybe not real indepth but works for me.

I also use BDicty for both medical and regular dictioary terms and most importantly for me, spelling. Great to be able to switch back and forth.

I use Dorland's from SkyScape. Very good depth and breadth. However, you might look around. I think Amazon had it for less money.

Stedman is the best medical dictionary for palm.
