Web-to-Palm software wanted

[Alexander Peter]

Hi all,

Does anyone know a way of putting information from a web page to a Palm?

Thanks in advance

AvantGo, iSilo, and Plucker are three that come to mind. Each has a desktop component that retrieves web page content and formats/converts it for the Palm, and a Palm component to read it.

Thanks Telyx!

I've tried iSilo and Plucker and they seem to be very useful. However, it seems that they only allow to put whole pages to a Palm. This is not very convenient for me because in most cases I need to get on my Palm only some information from the page. Currently I have to sync the whole page, but it's annoying to look through this page for the information I only need because of little Palm screen size. Is there any way to solve that?

Thanks in advance

You could highlight the information on the web page, then paste it into a New Memo in the Memos portion of Palm Desktop, then HotSync. If it includes graphics or tables, you could save it as a .html file and then use iSiloX or something to convert it for the Palm.

I've seen several tools that could help you. HandStory (http://www.handstory.com/product/download.html) and Vikao (http://www.mayeticvillage.com/home.nsf/Pages/vikaoforpalm) allow to select any part of a Web page and sync it to your handheld. As for me, for such purposes I use Fragmento (http://www.acmeta.com/fragmento/index.html) in conjunction with iSiloX that was mentioned above. Fragmento allows to select some part of a Web page and extract it into a new Web page. Then I use iSiloX to transfer this extracted page to my Clie. Hope this helps.

Oh, one more thing.

Fragmento is in beta and it requires an eap password to download. I've got one. So, in case you're going to download Fragmento, just drop me a message at alexswa _at_ gmail.com.
