Pros: Great Content, Free
Cons: Uses Much Memory
Summary: That's right. The runner up title was All The News That's Fit To Print, er, Be Formated On Your Handheld Screen, but that didn't truly reflect the tremendous scope of all things handheld. AvantGo is a simple software that you download onto your...

Cons: Login system seems buggy,some themes are hard to read, uses a LOT of memory

Pros: Free, websites for on the go
Cons: None really
Summary: After I had my PDA for about a month, I had installed every free program I could find to figure out which programs I wanted. Well after I had all the good programs, I was still craving more. I mean Internet Explorer was on my iPAQ, I should be able to do...

Pros: Nice interface, stability, and formatting.
Cons: A fairly nice selection of sites, though some of the major players are left out.
Summary: First off, the interface is great. On the "Homepage" your sites are listed in the order that you add(ed) them. You simply click on the hyperlink which will take you to the homepage of the site to which the hyperlink belonged.
Second, this...

Pros: Browse the web without a modem; Add your own pages to download
Cons: The more you download - The more memory you take up
Summary: Upon opening my palm pilot and starting to fool around with it, I was disappointed by the way there were many applications which required either a cellular phone or a connection using a palm modem. I didn't have the extra money to go out and spend, yet...

Pros: Listings for every theater and movie in my neighborhood, PLUS national news
Cons: So popular ... the pipeline is starting to get clogged
Summary: Since I hooked up with AvantGo, I don't even bother with MovieFone anymore. One quick sync a day (less than a minute) and I've got every movie theater, movie listing, time and theater address in the zip code I select - all available with a couple of...

Pros: Free, Offline Browsing, and Ease of Use
Cons: "Space Hog" for some. My PDA case barely fits in pocket..
Summary: After my experiences with the original Pilot by 3COM and finally my new experience with the Handspring Visor Edge, that I just recieved, I have to say one thing. I don't think my pockets are big enough. But thats another story, which involves...

Pros: Great content from well-known providers on your PDA!
Cons: Amount of space taken up is a bit hefty; increased sync time (few secs)
Summary: Avantgo's software has made my Handspring Visor a lot more powerful. Basically, what Avantgo does is provide you offline content off the web that you can view at any time. Avantgo is available for a variety of devices, including PalmOS, WinCE, PocketPC,...

Pros: Synchronize with web pages. MapQuest is handy.
Cons: Slows synch time drastically.
Summary: Avant Go is a wonderful application, don't get me wrong. It supports a wide variety of channels that you can download to your Palm/Visor/Clie/TRGPro. (Maybe even use wirelessly, but I'm not that connected yet). You can get news, weather, driving...

Pros: Easy to use, automatically downloads Web pages
Cons: Arbitrary size limit, some Web pages are displayed badly
Summary: I can say with confidence that AvantGo is one of the applications for my Palm that I use most, even more than some of the basic programs that come preinstalled. (In fact, I'd say that the only program I use more is Memo Pad.) It's a fairly powerful Web...

Summary: When I first got my Palm Pilot IIIxe for Christmas, my wife knew that she had gotten me something that I wanted - and I thanked her for it by only doing my "Kirk to Enterprise, 2 to beam up" impersonation twice. I'm afraid to show her Avantgo,...
