AvantGo now have their great offline web browser service available for Windows Smartphones. I was a huge fan of AvantGo a few years ago when I had a palm, and I'm surprised it took so long to port it to Windows-based Smartphones.

I'll install it in a while and write back with some feedback.

It works well. The only downside is that syncing is a manual process, done from within the application on the phone. In an ideal world, it would be automated through an ActiveSync interface (like Calendar/Tasks/Smartphone Notes etc.).

Nice to see that AvantGo support RSS feeds now too.

Does exactly what it says on the tin.

Gotta register? You must be joking

Yes it works on the I-Mate SP5 (thats what I installed it on!).

Yes, you have to register (buts its free for a 2mb account). You can pay $20 a year for an 8mb account. You need an account so they can store what channels you have subscribed to (the login details are stored on your phone).
