Having a tablet that fits in your lab coat... Priceless.
Having charge and reception on your phone.... priceless.
Having a lightweight library of review books, question books, and medical texts, as well as Uptodate, Medscape, and netters anatomy in your pocket... More than priceless.
I suggest you look into the Nexus 7, Ipad Mini, Amazon Kindle Fire HD.
These are your mainstay products that fit in your pocket, are powerful, fast, longlasting battery life, and support a lot of the apps youll need and want. Nowadays, all the apps like Prognosis and Medscape and Casefiles are universal for all. The Ipad is priced a little higher... of course, but really the difference is the iOS vs Android vs Amazon Google Store. The Nexus 7 on Android is the cheapest and really will be the envy of your clinical group, if you need something on a budget, which most of us are.
Having a smart phone or tablet is priceless... you may want to consider a phone or tablet. I love having an iphone to look up abbreviations, diseases, surgical procedures, anatomy, etc... during rounds and lectures... but also, It would be nice to have a "dumb"-phone with a superior battery life and cell reception because hospitals are notorious for having terrible dead spots. And when someones trying to get ahold of you for whatever reason, it can be quite frustrating, assuming you dont have a pager, or your pager battery dies, which happens.
Goodluck!
