Palm tells me that I cannot run 2.6.3 and 4.0 on the same computer so I will not be able to check out Plucker to see if it will work for me. Will this be a satisfactory substitute for Avantgo? Will I be able to get the NY Times, NY Post, etc.? Is it very difficult to configure, or will I be able to get it up and running without too much difficulty?
Background - I am a user, not a developer. I run Win2k, not OSX. Plucker is not as easy as AvantGo to configure. It is more flexible than AvantGo. The two problems you will run into is sites whose PDA friendly URLs are not known and sites that require cookies. However, even with other sites, Plucker takes more work than AvantGo.
I use JPluck on my PC which has a nice showcase (a list of PDA friendly sites) and some cookie support. It might be a bit more intimidating than Plucker Desktop but I need cookies for some of the sites I Pluck. You might try installing Plucker Desktop or JPluck without the conduit enabled and seeing if you can get it to Pluck the sites you're interested in. I don't know if there's a Plucker viewer that will run under OSX but success versus failure is usually pretty obvious from watching the program run and looking at the file size.
Hope this helps,
Dave
