Hi All,

I am reposting this plea in this support forum; earlier I posted it in 'Web Channels: Small Talk' by mistake...

Happy to discover this forum. I am an AvantGo user who is very aware of its limitations. Basically AvantGo works best with the 'official' subscriptions available at My AvantGo; configuring a new channel of one's own choosing doesn't work very well.

I like the way HTML documents seem to look on iSilo, and the fact that iSilo docs on Memoware are marginally smaller than the Doc format doesan't hurt, either.

BUT: I don't have a clue about how to use iSilo.

Any help or guidance would be welcome. I mean it was easy to save a web page on my hard drive and then load it onto my Palm m130 using iSiloX, but surely it goes beyond that?

I just have the 8MB on my Palm m130 RAM; no cards yet! Am I wrong to opt for iSilo over AvantGo. Can I use iSilo like the easy to use AvantGo conduit (automatic updating of channels, etc.)?

It's all a bit confusing...

Thanks.
