The attached thumbnail shows what appears to be the much-promised Palm OS 6 (yes, code-named "Cobalt." I liked numbered designations better, you know which one is latest and such.)
Anyway, Mark/Space is working on a beta of their Missing Sync for Palm 4.0 that includes an AvantGo conduit. I'm trying it right now, and I have to say, I do miss the simplicity of just HotSync-ing some content onto my Zodiac2 (and have ever since AG decided not to support Mac OS X back in 2002, was it?) Since then I have plunged into iSilo and I'm amazed by all of it's wonderfulness, sincerely. The only thing missing from it is a timer where I can set it to open up an .ixl file and crunch away. Right now, I have to remember to open the file before I go to bed so that the scheduled conversions inside will take place at 4am. When I forget to do so (like last night) my morning HotSync doesn't add any new content.
I wholeheartedly concur that iSilo completely whups AG in every way, except the convenience of just HotSync-ing to get new content. I hope that the Mac OS X 10.4 (blah blah "Tiger") has this "Automator" feature that will let me program which app's will open and when.
AG is fun for the convenience. My getting-more-techy-by-the-day Mom loves it on her Zire71, and if she can overlook the ads then all is well in the world.
