Our friend Samuel from Mexico worked on a new automated web service (http://tupalmx.com/canales/index.php) that has prefetched news clips - including BBC News, NYT, C|Net - for download in iSilo format. As long as neither iSilo nor Plucker/Sunrise come with some kind of mobile connectivity, this is your best chance to grab the latest news while you are on the go.

The news clips are updated daily at 10:30am (Central Mexican time, which is UTC-5 summer time if I am correct).

Rut roh... that's called "transcoding", and content providers definitely do not approve of that. Its against their Terms of Service in all cases (redistributing modified content without permission).

I hope he does well, before they come down on him for it. EEP!
