AvantGo-Palm sync using a basic AppleScript
Authored by: milari on Sep 09, '03 03:56:50PM

When I moved to X and lost AvantGo I started using iSilo & iSiloX (www.isilo.com) instead.

Many sites have their AvantGo data available or a specific 'light' PDA section. Some standard pages 'translate' for the PDA very well.
I've been very happy and now don't miss AvantGo at all.

I't also great for grabbing one-off long web articles for reading later.

I did the same. iSilo is one of the few pieces of software I was prepared to pay for. I haven't used iSilo as heavily as I could, but it grabs the BBC news perfectly from their text only site (with a little fiddling in the set up to get all the pages I need without crawling the whole web site). The 5 day weather too, with all graphics.

Now how do I get iCal to map my travels onto the BBC's location codes to get the weather for where I'm going...?
