review

By Jamie Lendino

AvantGo has been around for quite some time, dating back to early Palm PDA handhelds when it was nothing but an off-line Web browser. Today it has a lot more features, with a robust selection of thousands of custom "channels" to choose from. It's a nifty way to browse the Web on the go, despite some intrusive ad placement.

Spec Data
  • Price as Tested: 
  • Type: Business, Personal, Professional

Bottom Line

AvantGo filters the Web and makes it a pleasure to read on your BlackBerry, though anyone who has already bookmarked their favorite sites using the built-in browser won't see much new here.

Pros

Free. Automatically synchronizes articles so you can read them without a cell-phone signal. Channels are clearly laid out and easy to read.

Cons

Large ads. Slow synchronization. Spotty channel selection. Annoying survey on sign-up.
