Mon, 21 May 2001 21:16:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Sparky83 - 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...

Wed, 9 May 2001 02:51:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author oystersal - 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...

Thu, 25 Jan 2001 03:40:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bglassford - 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...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Slusy - 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...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jpmcgurk - 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...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RichBoston - I’ve written many PDA reviews recommending that you opt for as much memory as you can afford.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shqiperia - AvantGo is the single piece of software that I use 95 percent of the time on my Palm PDA. It does a good job of bringing web pages with you while you are on the move. It does have some minor problems.
