This review was convincing enough for me to go back and review Plucker again. I'm not crazy about the direction that iSilo has taken with it's new release, so it seemed like a good time. I've only begun, but I'm pretty pleased.
- Radley is right, the fonts are spectacular. This in itself is nearly enough reason for me to switch over, as I've been dying for good serif fonts on iSilo, but nothing comes through well. I have not seen such sweet fonts on any application that I use in the Palm. Now I'm eager to try to convert some of my own. There is a small price to pay in refresh time as you go from page to page, but it's well worth it.
- The "Pluck This" plugin for Firefox (already updated for the 0.9 version and also available for Mozilla) is great. With iSilo I had to carry a link over into IE to use the iSilo "clipper". The drawback of Pluck This is that JPluckX has to be running. Not a big deal, but one more step.
- Configuration between the two appears very similar. I haven't liked the new organization of iSilo's categories. Plucker does allow multiple categories for plucks, which is great.
I have more testing to do and I'll report back. Looks like we have a contender.
