I'm sure I'm not the only Palm device user out there who gets his news from AvantGo. I know BMW has their own AvantGo channel. I would really love to see one from MINI Online! That way, I don't have to rush home to see what's new here. I can just bust out the Clie!

How about it, moderators? I don't know how difficult it is to set one up, but how many people are out there who are with me on this one?

Jason

Interesting idea...some idea as the MCO Pulse but through a different channel. If there is enough interest (everyone voice their opinion) I'll make it happen.

I'm in!

I'm an avid AvantGo user. MCO AG is a great idea!

Go for it.

Well...I did a quick bit of investigation and AvantGo is now charging content providers (ie - MCO) to deliver a channel. Unfortunately I think $1,000 per year is cost prohibitive...and I'm not going to sell my MCS to do it

For those interested, you can set up your AG account to access any web site. It doesn't always come out the best, but you can make the account hold up to 3 links deep. Sometimes it doesn't work like you would imagine, (AG sites are specially designed for low graphics, high text & links) Maybe in some "spare time" MCO can develope a text only site for us tech savy folks. That would be cool!
