Hey All,

Just wanted to voice my opinion when it comes to Data Viz Dose-A-Day Dilbert vs. Isilo. They are both $20 programs and both have ways to view Dilbert Cartoons on a daily basis. The only thing is is that the Data Viz Dose-A-Day Dilbert comes with a preset year of cartoons installed onto your palm. The Dose-A-Day requires the full year to be installed on your palm and each day a new cartoon can be viewed. There is no way to delete previous cartoons from within the application itself. You can delete a cartoon by using a file viewer and going to the previous day. Isilo on the other hand allows a more updated dilbert cartoon to be viewed isilo can pull the cartoon straight from the website and you get the cartoon that is in the newspaper for that day. But isilo can be used for so much more then looking at dilbert cartoons. Just check out the channel list that Alexander provided us and his page of most of the daily comic strips that can be put into your palm and viewed with isilo. With a little bit of parsing knowledge and scripting any web page can be put on your palm pilot and viewed with isilo. I am just saying that Data Viz Dose-A-Day is a waste of money when you compare it to isilo.
