Ok, so I have been using Avantgo but I'm sure there's some better content out there. What are your favorite sites for downloading content onto your PDA?

Some of the features I have been using on Avantgo are: 555-1212 directory assistance and Mapquest. Both of these programs and others I have used "save your inquiry and answer it during the nexy sync"
Does anyone know where I can get directory assistance on my PDA...so that when I type in a name I get a number back?

Also I have been using Hollywood.com for movie listings but it lists its content by movie, not theatre. So you have no idea whats playing at your local theatre without clicking on 15 listings to get all the times. Are there movie listings for your PDA that list showtimes by theatres, not movie?

For your first question the answer is that it reall isn't practical. In order for you to be able to get instant results you would have to downlaod all the database and other files. And not only would this take up huge amounts of space, but some wouldn't work properly on th iPAQ.

For your second question, I use the customized yahoo page. You can have it sync info about different theaters near you.
