Actually, I'd've said that reverse. AvantGo gives
you -static- content. You hotsync and it's what
it is until the next time you hotsync.
The browsers that work while you are connected
(through RAS connections or modems & the proxies)
are what give you dynamic content ... but the cost
there is mobility. You have to do your browsing
while the Pilot is in the cradle ... in which case,
what's the point? If the cradle is connected to
a computer, you may as well browse there where you
have a real screen.
The above does not apply, of course, to the
wireless modems. In that situation you probably
do want the proxy browser instead of AvantGo,
then you can have dynamic content -and- mobility.
