View Full Version : Plucker vs. AvantGo - New York Times?
I have been using Plucker (the HiRes+ version) on my NR70 for a while now. However, after 14 April I can no longer get the New York Times with my web link that I had set up in Plucker (the link I had setup was http://www10.nytimes.com/nytimes-partners/omnisky/main.html; that link no longer works).
I heard a rumor there was a HighRes+ version of AvantGo, but I can't find it anywhere. Does anyone know if this version exists?
Am I screwed? Do I have to get AvantGo just to read the NY Times on my Clie? Does anyone have an updated web address for Plucker to use?
I am very much enjoying Plucker with this exception. I would read via AvantGo but I love the HiRes+ feature of plucker.
Please help!

The hi-res+ version of avant go works on the NR, just VEEEEERRRYYYY slow. I am not kidding, it was very upsetting. And even though it supports full screen, the fonts are low res, which are very uncomfortable to read after the smoothness of hi-res. I would suggest isilo, but you might not want to go that way since it's $18. At the very least I don't see avant go being the answer...

Yes unfortunately, the Avantgo version of NYT has been disabled for any non-Avantgo browser. So either you must use Avantgo to read them - but there is an alternative way.

Basically you can use iSilo to read the *regular* NYT from your Clie.
