AvantGo remained useful
AvantGo was very useful for travelling, if you sync'ed just before leaving. First, it allowed you to read news and other content on the plane where you can't connect anyway. Second, although I have what Americans would call a "data plan"for 250 MB/month at my base in Switzerland, as soon as I leave that small country, I am exposed to exorbitantly high roaming charges for any data download. The same goes for most people in Europe who stray outside the country where they have their phone account. AvantGo was some use in countering this. I will miss it.
Indeed, the US-centric comments on Pocket PC Thoughts and so many other sites are irritating.
