The perfect app- simple, fast and efficient

on Sep 29, 2003 - This is a great app to have if you have a wifi connected Palm. I suppose that regular palm users can settle for the included conduits and update their feeds at sync, but with wifi you can feed your habit anytime your in range. Not only is this app simple and fast, it supported the WideScreen 480x320 of my Clie UX50! With dual views, quick update and caching of the xlm feeds (plus the ability to launch NetFront with the current URL!) this app is not only easy to use but pretty full featured also.
