cnn.com "While Palm wireless modems aren't ubiquitous or inexpensive, who says you can't access Web pages on your Palm? AvantGo is an application that lets you download Web pages to your Palm for off-line browsing. Any Web page. And best of all, this killer application is free. Not convinced? Enter partners. A whole bunch of sites -- from Wired magazine to TV Guide -- have optimized pages for AvantGo users, so the content you read is free of any formatting problems or large graphics. I'm not downloading the whole of The New York Times, just what its editors deem the day's top stories. But for a daily news blast, it's great. Another plus: Every time I synchronize my Palm with my PC -- at least once per day -- the Web content is refreshed. Even if you have a wireless modem, AvantGo saves usage charges for pages that don't have to be accessed in real time. For commuters, it's great for reading online content, especially given the clarity and resolution of today's Palm screens. The only problem is, you'll find yourself downloading so much content that you'll need to get more memory for your Palm."
