Recommended Posts

I use AvantGo for my Pocket PC and I love it because i sync the webpages i need and read them offline. I was wondering if there's a similar software for the SAP. I cecked AvantGo and so far they don't support smartphone units..... only symbian. Or can i use the win ce version??

I tried saving the webpages i want and saving them to my phone... but it ain't like avantgo where the links are automatically copied.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

the CE version will not work on SP2K2. I guess we'll have to wait for Avantgo to come up with a version for SP2K2.

You might want to try the WinHTTrack offline browser mentioned here:

Its not perfect & a bit fiddly to use (you need to capture site to PC, then copy to SPV (preferably storage card), then create favourite in Pocket IE etc) but it does work for some sites & saves GPRS cost (& perhaps even buying a newspaper :) !). I'm no techie but I've used it to capture the UK Guardian news sites mentioned in above link and also BBC news site at:

and I'm sure it will work on some of the other sites mentioned in O directory at:

Hope it works for you. Good luck!

Any idea when acvantgo will be released for smartphone?

Aside from Worlf Off Line --- any other similar software which is freebie? I tried the trial version of WOL --- doesn't work for me. Even encountered problems after uninstalling.... activesync error. WinHTTrack is so complicated.

Suggestions?

ako rin... i'll be waiting for this. i really like that program. someone gave me the same suggestion as what sipper said. use some offline browser. but i suppose it's such a hassle to transfer files pa. avantgo syncs directly to my palm.
