PubMed on Tap is an application for PDAs that facilitates Internet access to NLM`s MEDLINE database using PubMed ultilies. PubMed on Tap is a developing application targeted at mobile health care professionals.

Currently the application supports retrieval of MEDLINE?citations from a PDA through a wireless connection to the Internet. PubMed on Tap options include several PubMed search limits, email of citations, and clustered results. Selection of features to be implemented next will be strongly influenced by our users` opinions.
