UpToDate on Android

It looks like there are many Android smartphone users who are looking for an UpToDate app. Unfortunately, UpToDate doesn't have an app for Android. They don't have an app for iPhone or BlackBerry either. Why? It's because you can access UpToDate via your mobile web browser. The site renders well on your mobile device after you log in.

You can also try typing: http://mobile.uptodate.com

This is what UpToDate has to say about online access via mobile device:
