How many websites do you 'clip' to read on your Clie?

Depends on my time to read them. When I plan a longer trip (plane, train), I clip around 30 websites.

As Alex said, depends on the circumstance. A trip means loading up on clips and ebooks...daily clipping I do 6 through HandStory and 6 through iSilo, usually pulled in the morning.

I have two that I refresh daily.
I have one that I refesh weekly.
I have about four large ones on the MS that I will delete once I read them.
I use Avantgo and have 9 channels that I sync daily....not really, "clipping" but similar.

ONE once a week.
And as of now 6 others daily.

Oooh. Forgot to mention . . . I do about 16 on a daily basis. And I meant for Avantgo to be included, jims.
C'mon . . . I KNOW there are more people out there that use this type of app!!!
I have four on AvantGo updated daily.
Six more for HandStory, but I'm thinking of dropping a couple, plus numerous ebooks........
Really helps keep my train ride more enjoyable.
I have about 37 Isilo channels syncing daily (although some only update weekly). Let's me have some variety depending on my mood.
BTW...Props to turcic.com for maintaining his excellent list of mobile sites.

I sync 10 news sites in HandStory every day, some of which are pretty extensive. That's plenty of variety for me. :)

I have 3 daily, and use the right-click feature when I see an interesting article and don't have time to read it right away.

I get about 8 or 9. Are there any sites out there that list PDA friendly addresses?
Or where does everyone get their addresses? Are they sites you went to before and have PDA versions now?

...better yet, go to avantgo.com. I don't know why I didn't think of that.

Well I thought of that :) , but i'm sure AvantGo doesnt have everything thats PDA compatible listed.
Hmm. Maybe i'll start a site where people could submit links.

Go to my site and download the channel list. Use the free iSiloX to browse it.

Thanks. That led me to Palm Loyal (http://www.palmloyal.com), which is exactly how i was thinking about setting a site up.

Ognar, PalmLoyal used the first release of my Web Channel Collection as a template (which was fine for me because the owner of PalmLoyal asked me if I was fine with it).
However, such a web portal for links has a serious drawback. People can directly click on the links to view the mobile web channels in their browser. This leads to a lot of unnecessary hits for the mobile channels and their retrospect webmasters don't like that very much. In fact, many mobile channel webmasters still want us to use Avantgo only (after the PalmLoyal mobile links portal was created, several channels like Reuters went dead for non-Avantgo users).
So as a conclusion I decided to remove my own mobile link portal (a similar one like from PalmLoyal) and to stick to the Channel List. PalmLoyal didn't upgrade its portal ever since, for the same reason I mentioned above.

Interesting, Alex. I never knew that.
