Skyscape has gained enormous popularity among physicians and pediatricians all over the world as they provide the most comprehensive library of references and ebooks in various specialities. Their pediatric titles are well prepared and can be purchased in a constellation. Skyscape is in continuous progress as they always add new titles and new features, for example they enhanced their services by providing CME credits to those who use Skyscape on the go and they made the contents viewable online for registered users (Nobody else offers this service) and they also were among the first developers to offer Blackberry and iPhone compatible PDA applications. The beauty of Skyscape comes from the user friendly interface standardized in all titles. This interface can navigate through contents quickly and all purchased references are cross linked with each other so we can assemble our own pediatric Skyscape collection. Each reference has an index and a table of contents and an icon to update wirelessly. The PDA programs are now accompanied by desktop versions and books can be accessed from there as well with a convenient "My Skyscape" placed on desktop through which we can manage all installed titles. Viewing images and tables is outstanding and the memory consumption of references is reasonable with compatibility with all storage cards and memory sticks.
