Here's something that you might want to use when comparing Plucker with iSilo. When I tested the iSilo 3.0 beta last month, I was surprised and deeply irritated to discover that I couldn't use it at all until I had about 150kB free on my Visor. 150kB of permanently UNUSABLE memory if you want your iSilo documents to be always available!!! The website for iSilo 3.0 (http://www.isilo.com/download.htm) has this to say: basic requirements: 306K for application Additional free working memory: 128k for viewing documents in internal memory (256k recommended) 256k for viewing documents on memory expansion cards (512k recommended) Looks like they've improved matters slightly now that version 3.0 is out of beta, but I still have no desire to waste 128kB.
