AvantGo for Microsoft Smartphone...

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

I'd like to see VGA support in the Pocket PC beta client... They are
going to the trouble to refresh it, the least they could do is make it
look nice on VGA screens.

Regards,
Shane.

Quite true. With GPRS, Bluetooth & WiFi getting information live is easy.
With Avantgo the info is only as up to date as when you sync. Probably
