An interesting fact: According to management, MyAvantGo moves two terabytes of data a day. If you assume an average download size of 100kb for one channel, then this would mean 20,000,000 channel downloads a day. Or 833,333 downloads the hour. Or 13,888 downloads the minute. How small do I feel now. What might be of interest to you is that, according to Sybase, MyAvantGo will continue as a free customer service. Feel free to post what you think about this deal in the forum.

And 7 million customers. Just imagine the potential for iSilo, Plucker and the rest, if for some reason Sybase would alienate the 7 million Avantgo users in the future.

Good times ahead of us
