This is the homepage for Eponyms for WebOS
Eponyms is a project by Andrew Yee, and most medical users should be familiar with this application which gives you access to “common and obscure medical eponyms (e.g., Rovsing’s sign, Virchow’s node) with descriptions” in your handheld. It was first available for PalmOS and then later became available in the other major mobile platforms including iPhone, Blackberry and Windows mobile.
The current version has a database of over 1700 eponyms which are selectable by the scrolling list. It supports the usual WebOS style of filtering the list by typing on your keyboard and the list will start limiting the display to what you type. There is also a Random Eponym button to select an eponym randomly.
For each eponym, there is also a button which gives you an option to search other sites for the eponym (whonamedit.com and wikipedia) and more information e.g. about the person behind the eponym and historical aspects.
Eponyms for WebOS is completely freeware. You can download it using this Installation link.
