I used to be a fan of AvantGo

being a longtime Palm handheld user, I really liked using AvantGo to download web articles to my device. Last year, they closed shop, and went mobile phone (mostly iPhone, blackberry etc) leaving Palm and PocketPC users pretty much in a lurch.

I have been trying "Plucker", and it's easy enough to use, has great compression, easy to read, ok format. It's too bad that so many of the websites I used to subscribe to are now set up with so much flash, or for iPhone only mobile settings. Also takes longer than AvantGo used to to update the pages.

Well, might take longer, but still less time consuming than trying to read the sites while mobile. Also, no WAP charges.
