Anybody know when we can get Avantgo for our Smartphones?

I had it on my Pocket PC and loved it!!

I miss it like crazy on my smartphone...

Any news?

Check out an app from SunnySoft called World Offline (sorry - I'd give you a direct link, but am in a hurry to pack for a trip right now)

As of last contact AvantGo is not interested in porting to SmartPhone (not enough market interest in the platform). With a little bit of XML knowledge and a few pages from the web on how to do it, you can set up eNews subscriptions for Mobipocket Reader to do practically the same thing.

In that regard I've found the 'mobipocket' Yahoo! Group to be very helpful.

Sadly they have no plans currently to port it. Things change though. I have found that I can get the same info via wep and pda formatted sites. A good place to look is http://pdaportal.us

Great Link! An easy place to go to find all kinds of information. With mobile sites so good we may not even need Smartphone applications to access information. I sure am glad I have unlimited Internet usage on T-Mobile for $5 per month.
