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)
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,...

Avantgo opened up a whole new world to me and my Palm III. It is very easy to use, and best of all...it's free. You can download customized web pages for the Palm, or create your own. They offer tons of websites that you are probably familiar with on...

Pros: Read Web News/info etc on you Pilot on a regular basis
Cons: Makes HotSyncs a bit longer, but it's WORTH IT
This is the killer App for the Palm. You just don't realize it until you use it.
Basic concept is as follows:
You sign up on the Avant go web site (for free) and select Web sites you are interested in getting on you Palm (News, Sports...

Pros: Listings for every theater and movie in my neighborhood, PLUS national news
Cons: So popular ... the pipeline is starting to get clogged
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: lots of web content, free
Cons: increased time of hotsync
Forget about address books, to do lists and calendars. You can get buy with the traditional Franklin planner. However, does the Franklin planner let you read the days news, articles from Salon and Wired, or give to sports scores? Well, you get this...

Pros: Convenient, easy, useful
Cons: none
When people ask me what do I do with my Palm Pilot, I start off slowly by showing them the calendar, notepad, to do list, calculator, and the phone list. I show them how I can use the pen to enter data into it. Then I move on to the programs that I...

Pros: simple, easy,content content content
Cons: size limits, probably to keep their servers from overloading
Well, who knows if it will be fun to read, but with all this competition to espouse the wonders of this simplistic little app, you have to do something to make sure people read mine - mine - mine!
Well, anyway, I'm sure you get the basic gist...

Pros: Free, Fun, Expands your Palm!
Cons: Kinda large program size for lower memory palms
When I bought my Palm I had checked it out on Epinions to see what people had to say about the Palm IIIe. Well one noticable thing was that it was not internet capable without a $149 modem! So that was an upset, but the overall look of the device was...

Pros: What an amazing way to bring the world with you!
Cons: New content channels are no longer being accepted by the company.
AvantGo is a no-brainer - do you want the world at your fingertips? Do you want a dizzying array of content-to-go on pretty much any topic of choice which you can read at your leisure? If so - Avantgo is a must-have for anyone with a PDA. And AvantGo...

Pros: free, easy, fast, convenient
Cons: none
I've been using Avantgo for a few weeks now, and it has certainly become the most frequently used application on my Visor. I mean, as exciting as it is to add people to the address book, or see how busy the next week of my life will be, or write myself...

Pros: Easy to use, timely information
Cons: Takes a while to download from dial-up (depending on subscriptions)
This web-based service has been an excellent addition to my Handspring Visor. Already a strong organizer and daily planner, the AvantGo software also provides me updated news and information. It has a lot of good qualities, but also has some caveats...

Pros: you can read the web without paying for a modem or wireless service!
Cons: takes up a LOT of memory
It was very exciting to get my palm IIIe, I thought that I would use it a lot and get a lot of out it. But after a week of not really touching it, I thought I really wasted my money this time (mind you that I’m just a student now and please don’t take...

Pros: Browse the web without a modem; Add your own pages to download
Cons: The more you download - The more memory you take up
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...
