AOL 2.0 For Pocket PC 2002 Released
After a few months of beta-testing, AOL has released their client for Pocket PC 2002 (not to be confused with AOL Instant Messenger, which doesn't provide dial-up to AOL's network).
Unfortunately, it costs $20, but if you need AOL dial-up access, this is the only way to go. (affiliate link)

Speaking of, I got this email today:
Greetings beta testers,
We are pleased to announce that Intellisync(R) for AOL is ready to begin Beta testing. Intellisync for AOL allows you to synchronize your AOL Address Book and Calendar with either your Palm device, Palm Desktop, Outlook or your Pocket PC 2002 device.
Hmmmm....I wonder if they'll charge for that too.

AOL
As much as I dislike AOL. It's the last thing I would want to see on my PDA.

AOL.... who really uses AOL anymore that would be surfing this site :?: I think people that use PPC are some of the last people that would want to use AOL and not to mention pay for it :roll:

As for the "who really uses AOL anymore" argument... we've argued it before -- there are many reasons: they may have a well-known email address, it might be their only Internet access option, etc. Let's not tie this announcement into a referendum on why AOL is good or bad, please.

AOL for Pocket PC? Why would I want AOL on any computing device, let alone my precious PPC? :drinking:

I was under the impression that AOL had discontinued development for the Pocket PC 2002 platform...I think I remember they even put out an official statement way back when saying they weren't going to put out a version of their client for PPC 2002.
O-well...i guess this is kind of good news for whatever remaining AOL users there are out there...

I only have there IM client on my pda and thank god I backup crap.. why would I want to pay 20 for anything from AOL. It is useless, buggy and bloated. If Trillian had a client for the PDA then I would be very happy.
AOL shoves out million of cds for you to install on the pc but they want to charge for the PDA. Who was the lame idiot who thought of that idea.
Yes they will charge for intellisync also, specially since intellisync charges a nice fee for there product (it is worth it at times).
