Manufacturer description

With AvantGo, you can get thousands of specially formatted brand-name web sites ("channels") on your PDA or smartphone: news, weather, sports, stock quotes, maps, movie listings, and more. Even create your own custom channels to download family sites, local news, niche sites, church and club sites, workout schedules, etc... so you're always in touch, even on the go. No wireless connection is necessary. Just sync 'n go from your desktop. If you do have a wireless or Wi-Fi hotspot service, use it around town for updates. Getting great websites couldn't be easier!

Will not work with Palm 5.0 on my Treo 650

Pros: It used to work (and it was free) on my Palm i795

Cons: Will not work on my Treo 650 at all

Review: I would give it a one, but for its prior utility and FREE info. Even before, it took some tweaking and searching, installing and uninstalling. Now....nothing. And their support section kinda forgot about me for a solid two months. Yccch!

User Rating: 9/10

excellent program

Pros: easy to use, lets me read internet content anywhere

Cons: advertisements (especially the ones that come up after a sync)

Review: I can't get through the day without this program! I sync in the morning using my wireless network, check the weather forecast, read news from wired.com, update my livejournal (google 'pocketLJ' for more info), check local movie listings, search for wifi hotspots (to update my info!), get driving directions, ect, ect, ect. The possibilities are endless! And it's all FREE!! You just can't beat it!
