Alternative to Avantgo?
 
OK so Avantgo is going dead at the end of the month.

I tried Viigo but that doesn’t seem to be really an “offline” content provider like Avantgo. You have to have an active connection to “Get full Article” to really read any of the news.

What are some good alternatives to this service that you guys might be using?


Thx!

That's sad to hear about AvantGo! I used to use them all them time back in my Palm Pilot days. It was really a cool service.

Have you tried mysnacs.com? I'm not sure if it online or offline, but it seems like a similar concept.

One of the RSS Readers is the way to go... As for the completeness of content, it really depends on the Feed... Some of them are little more than headlines, where as others May have entire stories plus attachments such as Pictures or Podcasts.

I guess that's the problem. It's hard for them to make a business case of constantly sending all this content in the event that you "might" actually read some of it and view the ads.
