Epocrates Seeking Usability Testers for its webOS Software 7

There's good news for the medical professionals among you that have been waiting for Epocrates to release a native webOS client, as it looks like development is going full steam ahead.

Epocrates announced in the PreCentral forums that they're seeking folks from the medical industry to stop by their headquarters in San Mateo, California for usability testing on the 14th, 15th, and 16th of December.  They're looking people who are of course healthcare professionals (MD, DO, med students, NP, pharmacists, Pa, etc), current owners of the Pre or the Pixi, and have had prior experience ( > 3 months) using their software.  Participants get a $100 honorarium, and a 6-month license code for Epocrates Essentials, which isn't too shabby for 60 minutes of your time.  You can view the rest of the details on the program here.

Epocrates was mum on a specific release date.  Since they're in the usability testing phase (an important milestone in the design cycle of any application), we can safely assume a release date here in the next few months. Specific release date or not, it's great to see big names like Eprocrates developing for webOS.
