AvantGo 6.0: the new browser is out!

I haven't had a chance to look at it yet, but it sounds promising. And if it is as it sounds (did that make sense?), then we may have an answer to some of our frustrations with PalmOS web browsing as well.

From OSNews:

The brand new AvantGo version offers improved wireless synchronization; an integrated Internet browser; real-time searching of AvantGo channels; a redesigned user interface with tabbed navigation, customized channel layout and small-screen optimized navigation. Also, users will now be able to add and remove channels directly from their device.

Go get it at: http://avantgo.com/frontdoor/index.html

Update:

After doing a little fact-checking, it seems that OSNews doesn't quite have their facts straight. There is *no* AvantGo 6.0. Apparently there have been internal changes made to the service, not necessarily the browser. The browser version is 5.7 Build 35. Still, after AvantGo's reputation of being flaky, it might be worth another look.

The press release is here:

Then again, maybe I'll just save myself the headache and stick with Plucker. It works.
