Are you compatible with Windows Vista?
Yes we are compatible. We have tested the pre-release version and found that our Palm software installed successfully with the new Vista OS. The requirements for the Palm OS have not changed. You will still use the HotSync Manager to synchronize with the computer.
There were changes to the Pocket PC platform. With this latest Windows OS, Pocket PC devices will no longer sync using the Active Sync program. Instead they will be using a program called Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC). Pocket PC 2002 and earlier is not supported on Windows Vista. If you need to download the Mobile Device Center please visit the Microsoft website below:

When I open a record I see "The content for this category cannot be found"
If you get this message there are two possibilities. First your handheld may have run out of memory when you were downloading the content. Secondly, you may have lost your Internet connection when the content was downloading. We recommend the following:
A. Check the amount of available memory – From your Palm's home screen click on the menu icon (usually located in the top left-hand corner). Select “Info...” from the menu. The free memory appears at the top of the info screen. If you have less than 20k available, we will stop loading content to your Palm. If you wish to complete the install, you will need to free up some space on your Palm by removing files or programs that are no longer in use.
B. Hot Sync – If you have enough space, you probably lost your Internet connection when you were downloading content. We recommend you connect your computer to the Internet, then Hot Sync your palm again.

When I open up my program I'm receiving the message "To activate your subscription, synchronize your handheld..."

1. Place Pocket PC into cradle
2. Open ActiveSync on your computer (icon is the green circle located on bottom right-hand corner of computer screen)
3. From the "Tools" menu select "Add/Remove programs"
4. Highlight the title of the product and click the "Remove" button. Please note that you will have to remove each instance of the program one at a time.
Next, rerun the install, when you get prompted to check your device for additional steps please make sure that you answer all of the questions on your device and wait for it to say it was successfully installed before you click “ok” on your computer screen.

I purchased Unbound Medicine for my iPhone/Blackberry but I cannot install it to my iPhone/Blackberry. Why?
iPhone Answer:
Unbound Medicine's customized interface takes full advantage of the built-in web browser to give health professionals quick answers over cellular and WiFi networks.
In Regards to the iPhone, Apple does not support third party applications for the iPhone. This essentially means you need to access the information via the iPhone Safari web browser. There are no files to download, once your register your registration key and the user name and password have been created then simply point your Safari browser to the login page.
Apple has finally completed a development kit and we have begun to create installable applications. Apple does not plan on having an iPhone store until June of 2008. That date is a rumor and has not yet been confirmed by Apple. Until they create a store no one will be able to sell products that can be installed to the device.
To view a demo please follow the steps below:
1. Point your browser to: http://www.unboundmedicine.com/iphone.htm
2. Then press the live demo button
Blackberry Answer:
Unbound Medicine's customized interface takes full advantage of the built-in web browser to give health professionals quick answers over cellular and WiFi networks.
Installable applications for the Blackberry are in development. There is no timeframe for a scheduled release of the Unbound products for the Blackberry.
To view the software on your Blackberry please follow the example below:
1. Point your browser to: http://nursing.unboundmedicine.com
