So far so good - really is a bit faster, moving between channels information levels within each channel.
RE: I just downloaded 4.0 from the bottom of that teaser
Anyway, could you tell us how big the required files are? There was a lot of concern that this new version was going to even larger than the previous one.

4.0 is a bit faster. i'm noticing improved speed with going from within a channel back to the default channel list home page. also in opening up a channel for the first time. browsing within channels, though, doesn't seem faster all that much.

site down??
Tried to get to the update at 9:50am est and AvantGo's website seems to be crumbling under the pressure...
Anyone else able to access the site today? Is the download available anywhere else? (PalmGear, Handango, etc.)
File Size and comments
Downloaded it from the teaser page. No problems with the download.
Installation is seamless.
Once on the Palm you won't even figure out that you've upgraded, unless you check the menu/about which says 4.0 Build 769. This is ofcourse in offline mode only. haven't tested online yet.
File size ( of the main AvantGo .prc ) of the previous AvantGo version was 289k on my Palm. Version 4.0 clocks in at 309k. so not so much of a difference in file size.
-a.

"AvantGo Connect" compatible?
I also noticed that Mobile Link is no longer listed as a conduit and AvantGo Connect has taken its place.
did AvantGo dump Mobile Link and create their own conduit or did they simply rename it to "AvantGo Connect"?
AvantGo Connect
Wireless *is* faster

Problems connecting
What's wrong?
I went back to Avantgo 3.3 and it runs ok!

RE: Problems connecting
Server settings are correct, conduit seems to work...
A soft reset didn't help further, too.
Maybe we should delete the libmal ?..

RE: Problems connecting
AvantGo Connect's network connection test works flawlessly, but if you look at the connection test log it's not at all comprehensive. It just tries to fetch a single GIF picture, not any remote content. The databases could all be down and the connection test would work just fine.
Worryingly, AvantGo themselves don't seem to be at all sure about the upgrade. The site mentioned 3.3 about five or six times whilst doing the software install. When raising a support call 4.0 isn't a selectable option. The HotSync log still says "OK Mobile Application Link" (even when it just failed). There's a worrying lack of consistency, here...
RE: Problems connecting
* Raise a support case.
* Post a complaint on PalmInfocenter.
If your experience matches mine, you'll get a proper AvantGo content transfer the very first HotSync after performing these steps. :)
Fix to One Solution
- Select Start -> Programs -> AvantGo -> AvantGo Connect
- Double click on your server settings.
- Change Port to 443.
- Check "Connect to this server using a secure protocol"
I had this problem and after trying different configurations this worked.

Mac Version?

Any thoughts

a popup should appear asking if you would like to create (or place?) in memopad.
it'll create a memo with the text you copied.
Copy-Does it or doesn't it?
Bleh.
RE: Bleh.
I'm pretty sure we get more than we pay for here.
4.0 Woes
Bloatware?
memory was *much* diminished. I have a standard
black 2 MB Visor plus an 8 MB flash module. I checked
using File Mover, and found that LIBMAL, formerly
50 KB, was now 150. OK -- no problem. I asked
File Mover if it would move LIBMAL to the cartridge,
and was refused (since LIBMAL is considered a system
file).
What a neat way to keep your product from appearing
to bloat -- farm out the bloat to a system-based
subroutine library.
As I am currently a wired-only user, I am unimpressed.

WORKS GREAT
worked first time and every time.
speed has increaed significantly.
No problems here
Re: RE: Don't Bother - It's crap
Hope that, too, is not too much for your oh-so-obviously feeble mind to comprehend! What? Are you six going on three? (As if you are even remotely capable of understanding the analogy.)

Oh, and I apologize for "moron." I had no intention of changing your mind. The mindless cannot be changed. Again, obvious....
