    irrelevant

    Avant GO?!? They're irrelevant to the Mac marketplace. Haven't updated their products in who knows how long. Everything still requires Mac OS 8/9 to sync the content. This simply should not be news in Mac circles.

    !irrelevant; depressing

    It isn't irrelevant, but it is depressing that Avantgo (even with Sybase's increased technology staff) hasn't been able to provide support for OSX and Palm Desktop 4+ users.

    Seems like that is the story.

    Microsoft is to blame

    They made an "Investment" in AvantGo and they haven't updated the Mac product since.

    AvantGONE!

    It seems that we may NEVER see an OS X compatible version of AvantGo! I fail to see the problem doing so. People have hacked various UNIX flavors to make it work.

    It's really the ONLY thing I miss from OS 9 at this point!
