AvantGo Reports Record Revenue
AvantGo, Inc. reported financial results for its fourth quarter and revenues were $6.6 million, representing a 526% increase from the same quarter last year, and a 42% increase over the third quarter of 2000. Revenues for the year were $16.3 million, a 465% increase from $2.9 million for the previous year.
"Based upon the strong sales trends the Company experienced in the fourth quarter of 2000, we project that revenue will grow by over 100% in 2001," said David Cooper, AvantGo's chief financial officer. "We have revised our projections and anticipate reaching profitability two quarters earlier than previously planned, and without any additional funding.''
The company still lost money, though. The net loss, before non-cash charges, was $10.6 million versus $10.9 million in the third quarter of 2000. Pro forma net loss per share before non-cash charges was $0.35 for the quarter compared with a loss of $0.47 per share in the third quarter of 2000.
AvantGo ended the fourth quarter with $73.5 million in cash and investments. The Company has 342 employees and plans to continue building its expertise in research and development and its sales capacity.

RE: AvantGo Could Still Go Under
Sitescooper can grab a website and format it for your palm device, and you can specify how much of the site you want (1 pg, 2 pages deep, 3 levels, etc), whether you want images or not, where the important text starts (very handy for sites that aren't simplified for AvantGo), etc. Sitescooper will automatically make a Plucker, iSilo, or regular Doc file, too.
The biggest benefit to Sitescooper, besides its open-source nature, is that it will run at a set time, and have a PRC file ready to hotsync, rather than tie up so much time connecting and downloading the files from AvantGo.
So, check out sitescooper.org. Cool alternative.

I use it everyday and love it. I hope they don't ever go under but it is nice to know there are other alternatives.

AvantGo Could Still Go Under
This is probably because AvantGo is the second most frequently used app on my Palm, after MultiMail. I get a cold chill when I consider losing access to The Onion or ZDnet from where ever I go.
Discovering AvantGo was one of the best parts of the early days of using my Palm. It is what converted my IIIx from something that I took with me to work to something I took with me everywhere.
I have to think that there are plenty more people like me out there who are newsaholics and use AvantGo every day. If so, you should care deeply about the financial health of the company, too. Remember, it is an essentially server-based app. If the company goes under, the offline browsing stops. That would be a black day for me. Maybe for you too.
Possibly someone would come along to fill in the gap, but they'd have to start all over again building up their content. So AvantGo, at least one person out here is rooting for you.
