Offline Browser for Palm : a way to read news every morning
Hi Everybody !
For two weeks, I haven't any free news paper, such as 20minutes.fr or economiematin.com, in my subway station. So, I looked for something to keep in touch with news every morning. And I found a new program for my Palm TX. It is Plucker : http://docs.plkr.org/index.php/Plucker_FAQ and http://www.plkr.org/.
This program is an offline browser. It works like avantgo (a popular palm program). The main issue is to find a way to build a plucker archive. Because plucker doesn't support multi frame website, I advise you to use mobile edition from main websites. For example, I was looking for news on the morning. So I am using two websites :
1. http://mobile.nytimes.com
2. http://m.lesechos.fr/ <== less than 1Mo archive with a 5 links deepth!
I tried to build a plucker archive from http://timesmobile.mobi/, but it seems impossible (with sunrise XP).
To find more inforamtions, you should read :
1. http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6262
2. http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5577
To conclude, thanks to Apple with its iPhone, I think that more and more mobile edition website will be out. And it is a "plus" for Palm user ;). So start using plucker :D
Have a nice day
