I'm also going to miss AvantGo, and have been looking for a replacement, but with no luck, so far.

RSS is not an ideal option, as it will only provide me with the headlines, and links to the articles, and I haven't found a RSS reader, that will also download the linked to articles.

There are some Website grabbers out there, but they all requires a PC, and can not update the sites directly from the PPC, like AvantGo does.

My primary use of AG is for reading a few newspapers during my daily commutes to and from the job, where no Internet connection is available. I have gotten used to the ease of use from AG, just connect to my WiFi, tap update, and I'm ready for the trip in a few minutes. I do not want to boot up the PC first, update and then sync the feeds/sites, as that is to cumbersome, and time consuming.

Naturally I could grap my old WM2003 machines, which supports downloading webpages via "Mobile Favorites", but then again, that too calls for a sync with the PC.

I am going to miss AG, it's going to be a looong summer :-(
