It does work great...
Can I ask a follow up Q?
I noticed that I can add a site like the NYtimes for example... a site I currently grab with AVANTGo..
Which is better? ISILo works great for grabing and converting web pages from my
I think the major difference is that AvantGo-specific channels are exclusive (at least with that particular PDA-optimized layout). IOW, you can download the information from the main site from anywhere, but the layout optimized for the small screen can't be provided to users by another means. That's why some content providers have mobile-optimized versions (The Onion comes to mind) that have to be set up as custom channels to be downloaded via AvantGo. With these, there's little difference either via AvantGo or creating an ISilo Web setup. If the NYTimes channel you have is a custom one, there's little reason for you to use AvantGo over ISilo for those purposes (other than AvantGo being free and the real version of ISilo that supports links not).
HTH,
