I have a mac and a ppc have been hunting around for sync apps, missing sync does a superb job of the contacts, calender and tasks, you can even do mail and avantgo but my big problem is notes, i cant find an app anywhere that allows you to writes notes on a mac and have them synced to the ppc.
I have an idea, does any of you know how to write a site for avantgo, if you could write an api much the same as avantblog but using it's own data source rather than blogger, it would then be possible to create a desktop widget for mac that can write to the datasource, I have tried using the blogger widget to add to the blog from dashboard, then adding my blog page as an rss page within avantgo, it works a treat apart from the lack of password, does anyone have an interest in this, i can make a widget but have no experience of avantgo or a domain for that matter.
Anyone interested? Email me if just to say your going to have a go on your own.

There a new version of Newsgator Go right for WM6:
http://www.newsgator.com/Individuals/NewsGatorGo/Default.aspx
You can have your read/unread article sync with any other Newsgator app including Newsgator Online !
Even so we can read in this software features:
"
Offline Reading: Take your feeds and posts/articles with you. You don't have to be online to read your feeds because NewsGator Go! caches downloaded feeds on the device.
"
I can not see the content of the feed enclosure when I am OFFlinne.. I can only see then when I am ONline.
Has someone been able to read feeds with it when OFFline ? if yes, how ?
Chris
Personal Opinion:
Compeltely scrap Newsgator Go, and if you have friends with the same problem, tell THEM to scrap Newgator Go.
Am I being to hard? Read the following post entitled "Content is Blank":
http://forum.newsgator.com/Topic39989-56-1.aspx
At least 13 posts, all with the same problem, all in THEIR OWN FORUM, over a period of two months.
How many responses or possible solutions from Newsgator?
Zero.
Do yourself a favour and go download pRSSreader.
When Newsgator gets its act together, I would be happy to recommend their product.

I agree with you, that's not acceptable from them not to fix this bug.
But I was so keen to use the synchronization feature of read/none read status..

egress can synchronize with newsgator, but it's not free.

As I am very interested in synchronizing the read/not read status of the articles, I am ready to pay for it, no problem.
So Egress, could be a solution, but are you using the synchronized system of Egress with Newsgator ?
I tried Egress, and it seems to me that you have to enter each news that you want to get synchronized by hand !!
I mean, is there a way with Egress to just enter your Newsgator account and then, all your news feeds under that accound get synchronized in terms for read/not read article status ?
With Newsgator Go (for Mobile), you just have to enter your Newsgator login and password and all your feeds are retrieve and get synchronized in terms of read/not read status.

Have you tried Newsbreak?? I think it's the best rss/pod client for wm, even better than Egress imo...

yes it's possible, it's been some time I tried it, but it certainly worked without having to put them one by one. You first need to make a group called egress within newsgator (using the website). then you can import a opml and get the option to use a newsgator opml...play with some options and it will work
a rss tool without synchronisation is useless in my opinion! i reed rss on my laptop, on my work and on my mobile...i never want to reed the same story twice ofcourse, so i can't do without synchronization.

Thanks for you comment, I have just tested it as you said, and it works in synchronized mode !!
Before I thought that only the channel entered as 'Synchronized channel', were sync, but in fact they are all synchronized if you specify your Newsgator OPML and create an egress entry on the Web interface !
The only drawback, is that the FOLDERS organization of your feeds are NOT kept at all. Your Newsgator Online folders are not automatically recreated on your device.
That's a pity, because Egress do support folders (and even nested folders). Newsgator Go, for example is able to keep the folders like on Newsgator Online (I have tested this).
sync with google gears for mobile?
Maybe someone with some good programming skills can create a syncable feed reader using google gears for mobile?
I installed a baked ROM (1.2) from the forum. Since then I lost my RSS feeds and am looking for a replacement program to sync feeds from the PC to the Touch Pro.
What should I get / use?
TIA
Use RSS HUB
It works fine for me just search for rss hub .cab on google
RSS Hub is good but doesn't cache images offline. If you search on these forums you'll find the name of one that does cache images.
Try the "advanced" version of Rss Hub, News Break. It does catch pictures.

EDIT. Rss Hub works fine for me actually and downloads images for off line viewing. I tried Pocket PC thoughts feed.
RSS... download on PC then sync to Phone
Will RSS-HUB do a PC to Phone sync? I was looking for something that would download on the PC then sync the movies, audio and text from RSS-Feeds, podcasts, etc.
I don't think there is such a program. With WM device center you can synch files but I don 't think RSS is just single files. I don 't know in which format RSS data is stored and if you can synch them.
But why actually do you want this? For not having articles as unread in PPC when you read them on PC? Am i wright?
I strongly recommend using Google Reader, this way you can read it on any of your computers, friends' computers or mobile, and keep everything in sync - you won't read the same thing 2 times.
I have a subscription to a podcast that costs money and makes you login with a username and password to access the feed. I haven't been able to find any apps for Windows Mobile that can handle the login requirement. There are several apps for PC that work, so I know it can be done. Does anyone know of a program that can handle login required feeds?
Not sure if it will work but have you tried Viigo as an RSS reader, it seems to allow logins to be created.
Looking after a Ebook reader there can sync.
I read on more than one device.
If I am at home, I use a Samsung tablet, I am outside the house, I use my mobile phone.
Nice if the applet can automatically sync so it's updated with how far I've read, and transfer any. notes
