American Medical News brings the news to your handheld. Mobile AMNews is available as an AvantGo channel, which lets you get the news on the go.

Mobile AMNews on AvantGo

AvantGo users can add AMNews from the link above, or look for us under Health Professionals at the AvantGo site, and preview the channel. Either way, when you add it, the channel will be put on your channel list, and will be available the next time you sync.

If you are not an AvantGo subscriber, you can download AvantGo for your handheld or smart phone. AvantGo is a free service that lets you download pages from the Web and browse them on your handheld. It will automatically present the most recent version of the paper. The service supports Palm OS, Pocket PC and Windows CE devices, as well as "next generation" wireless phones.

Premium channel

The premium channel carries the complete text of all news and feature stories from the current issue. (It does not include tables, charts, opinion columns or past issues.)

AMA members and others with full site access can sign up for the premium channel at amednews.com/plus/mobile. You must be logged in to sign up.

Users who have activated the premium channel will see "Full Text" by the issue date. Users of the basic channel see more-limited content, similar to what is publicly avialable at the Web site, and continue to see the activation box.

Customer assistance

Where do I sign up?  www.amednews.com/plus/mobile (login required)

I'm a member/subscriber, but I can't get to the sign-up page.  To sign up for the full channel, you need to be logged on to the AMNews site (or to AMA Members-Only) at the time. This means currently signed in with your password. You cannot sign up for the full channel from any public area of the site.
