Back around 2001 or 2002, I had a Palm m505 and was reading an ebook on a bad night of fishing on a northern MN lake. I remember my family laughing at me for such stupidity. "Reading a book on a small tv. Ridiculous!" <br /><br />Fast forward eight years later and those same louts are touting the virtues of a Blackberry suggesting I need to get with it. <br /><br />Will someone explain this huge media hype and obsession with the Kindle, iphone and ipod? Palm had most all of these same functions dating back over 10 years ago. I just don't get it and guess I need to get with it.Paulmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07419738671959160821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-715112885311052417.post-35696401642482095202009-03-25T20:40:00.000-07:002009-03-25T20:40:00.000-07:00Brilliant post.

This would alleviate the need for an accessible wifi connection(due to the non cacheing itouch) and the painfully slow blackberry (even if it does have viigo). I would pay a monthly service fee to allow for qivk Pre downloaded caches rss feeds. Maybe this is the only reason I haven't sold my old still working palm tx.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15499253344848055721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-715112885311052417.post-64406097001836156802008-06-22T12:45:00.000-07:002008-06-22T12:45:00.000-07:00Got you beat.

I am considering the new iPhone 3G and just learned that avantgo is not available. The Apple demo shows the NY Times but it appears to just be an image. The user never opens an article in a font size that would permit reading.<BR/><BR/>Argh!Kenneth Matinalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00137158112057236819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-715112885311052417.post-37636647461076511512008-02-21T08:12:00.000-08:002008-02-21T08:12:00.000-08:00I, too, miss the combination of AvantGo/Palm.

It was perfect for subway commuting and airplanes.<BR/><BR/>Recently I became an iPhone user and have been dreaming of some sort of AvantGo client when then iPhone SDK is ever/eventually released.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and a Vindigo client would be cool as well.happyrobothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08279838643236667450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-715112885311052417.post-28454780521959249252008-02-11T06:46:00.000-08:002008-02-11T06:46:00.000-08:00I am just trying to decide if the screen on the iP...I am just trying to decide if the screen on the iPhone is all that much nicer than the screen of my T3. Turns out they're the exact same resolution! The iPhone screen is a tad smaller.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12319325036001934848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-715112885311052417.post-84377222990612704242008-01-18T05:20:00.000-08:002008-01-18T05:20:00.000-08:00Great comments, so how's this for a dilemma :missi...Great comments, so how's this for a dilemma :<BR/>missing AvantGo on my iPhone, I found your posting while googling for a solution: on a train in the UK, using my iPhone to read your post and write this!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16578457632310608513noreply@blogger.com
