I'm interested in hearing home easy it is to convert a web page into a Palm browsable page... I'd love to see MacNN viewed easily on the Palm, but have no experience in it.

No I don't mean using AvantGo, I mean making a true Palm version of MacNN...

Anyone have any suggestions?

Low End Mac is now designed for Palmtops. This is the only one I know of. It's funny, Palm, Handspring, and Visorcentral don't even have Palmtop optimized pages.

By the way, I went browsing around on my Novatel Minstrel V wireless modem the other day, and the browser doesn't support MacNN's forums. iMac2Day looked okay, though.

Palm and Handspring don't have very good sites when you browse them on the Palm, either.

Use AvantGo to convert web pages into a Palm readable format.

Oh, whoops. I was rushing along...

Yeah, it's pretty easy to create a Palm version of a website. Just don't use navigation toolbars and logos, because they don't show up too well on the Palm. Text-only with a few banners is fine, but don't make the banners longer than some 120 pixels across. Otherwise, they don't look too good, as I said before.

Hey, perhaps someday we will see a Palm-ized version of MacNN. (Hint, hint. )
