I've just read <http://www.plkr.org/index.plkr?a=faq&sec=1.1> & 1.2, and am indeed interested in Plucker to replace AvantGo (which was free for personal use, until it broke for Palm Desktop 4/X). One question that keeps occurring to me is: why is it better to have a Plucker-format parser on the Palm, and a translator on the Mac, rather than a straight HTML parser on the Palm. Compression is one good reason, but you could just read compressed HTML files if that was it, so I assume there are reasons that Plucker format is better than HTML, and would love to see mention of the reasons on this page.

It would also be good to compare Plucker to iSilo, which seems to have similar functionality (although I haven't built any iSilo PDBs yet) but inferior compression, for a fee.


Thanks for Plucker,
