.... is NOT COMING SOON.

I was just chatting over 50 minutes by phone (i.e. skype to landline to

conference call) with guys

from AvantGo and they released TOTALLY NEW CLIENTS of AvantGo for all

platforms, including

Pocket PC, it is available here (many improvements):

but they did not release a client for MS Smartphone! And they said "we are

working on it" but not that they plan it anytime soon.

I kindly ask marketing and other managers at Microsoft to contact Sybase

(makers of AvantGo) and to accelerate the situation.

I am just one person goddamit - I have convinced opera to make browser for

MS Smartphone, and I convinced AppForge to support MS Smartphone in

CrossFire (just got full version and I am reviewing it for Smartphone) and I

convinced tens of thousands of people to buy Windows Mobile phones, but

Sybase/AvantGo needs a little bit support from MS, maybe? Please.

Thank you for contacting AvantGo Support! 

While we haven't officially announced plans to support these devices, we demoed a version of our software running on the Microsoft Smartphone at the European Smartphone/Orange.  We're currently evaluating customer interest and will announce any updated information about future support on our website.
