If you wish to have RSS feeds converted to webpages so you can view them in internet browsers like PIE, NetFront, etc, you can check out this thread for more info. You can also make use of these converted RSS feeds to sync using AvantGo, Mobile Favorites, Sunnysoft World Off-Line, etc
Here are some mobile-friendly sites/pages that you can add to your AvantGo/WOL/Mobile Favorites channel:
MediaCorp TV Guide (Link Depth=2)
StarHub Cable TV Weekly Schedules (Link Depth=2)
StarHub Cable TV Schedules for 2 days (Link Depth=2)
Straits Times Interactive (Link Depth=2)
Business Times News
Singapore Lottery (Link Depth=2)
SG Weather (Link Depth=1/2)
HardwareZone Price Guides (Link Depth=3)
PPCSG - Hardware News (Link Depth=1/2)
PPCSG - Software News (Link Depth=1/2)
PPCSG - Buzz (Link Depth=1/2)
PPCSG - Press Releases (Link Depth=1)
SG Movie Schedules (Link Depth=2)
Do note that for WOL, channel depth (Max. Level) is one level more than link depth, i.e. it's inclusive of the index page.
Anybody have any other recommended AvantGo channel or mobile-friendly site for offline synchronisation? Please post here :wink:

If you wish to subscribe/view a RSS Feed in WOL, i.e. do not wish to use RSS Reader, you can make use of certain websites to help you convert the RSS Feed to a HTML webpage, where you can add to your WOL channel.
Convert RSS Feeds to HTML Webpage:
- RSS to Mobile-Friendly Webpage (some feeds my not work well)
- RSS2HTML (work well with more feeds, but not optimized for small screens)
If the webpage is in a foreign language and u wish to translate to English, you can also make use of Online Translators to translate the webpage before you add it to your WOL channel.
Online Translators:
- Babelfish
The webpage is not well-optimized for small screen? Try Skweezer to optimize the webpage before u add it to your WOL channel.
Sometimes, u may need to use a combination of these tools, e.g:
Case 1: RSS Feed is not in English
- Step 1: Convert RSS Feed to HTML webpage
- Step 2: Translate the output page
Case 2: Webpage is not optimized and is not in English
- Step 1: Translate to English
- Step 2: Optimize page using Skweezer
Do you know u do not need to launch WOL to go to the index page? And do you know WOL works with ftxPBrowser? You can launch PIE/ftxPBrowser and type "wol:index" into the address bar.
You can add the WOL index page to your Mobile Favorites so that u can go to the page quickly & conveniently, rather than launching WOL program to do so. Alternatively, you can add the link to your PIE/ftxPBrowser start page, e.g.
<a href="wol:index">WOL Index Page</a>

Where did the extra 600KB or more come from? They are a result of bad HTML coding of the webpages which lead to WOL (or others) following "hidden" links to the actual site.
Well, do not fret. I have just written a script to optimize the ChannelNewsAsia page. Simply continue using link depth of 2 (max level of 3 in WOL) and allow link to external site of link depth 1. The link for the optimized page is here.
More customized & optimized webpages I've coded below...
Optimized Webpages:
ChannelNewsAsia (Max Level = 3)
Achieve-IT! (Max Level = 1)
Yahoo SG: Movie Showtimes (Max Level = 2)
Optimized and Translated Webpages:
Pocketpcitalia.com News (Max Level = 1)
PocketPCParadise (Max Level = 1)
PocketPC Universe (Max Level = 1)
Optimized Webpages converted from RSS Feeds:
CNetAsia Reviews - Mobile Phones (Max Level = 2)
PPCSG News (Max Level = 2)
PocketPCAddict News (Max Level = 2)
Others
StarHub CableTV Schedules
Do note that link depth to be set for Mobile Favorites or AvantGo is 1 level less than the Max level. Max Level is used for WOL. Happy synchronising & staying updated with the news! :smile:

Change the default storage location for Avantgo
Disabling GPRS and MMS
Changing temp internet files directory
Alternatively, you can also use Tweaks2k2.Net to change the location of temp internet files, cookies, history to Storage ROM or Storage Card.
Another useful registry tweak is to enable PIE to be identified as IE5 or IE6. It can also be done easily using Tweaks2k2.Net
If you are looking for a simple way to create a Start Page (Home) for your browser, you can check out this thread.
If you are looking for "Save Image As..." feature in your browser, you can try 3rd party PIE enhancements or 3rd party Web browsers. Check out the post above for the recommendations & links. :smile:
If you are having problems surfing using WiFi connection, the following troubleshooting steps apply:
1) On the device, go to "Connections" settings and go to the "Advanced" tab. Click on "Edit" and check that all the checkboxes in the "Proxy Settings" page are unticked. If it does not work, continue to next step.
2) Tap on "Select Networks" and try changing the first dropdown option to "My ISP".
3) If you have problems with GPRS connection because you changed the default connection to "My ISP", please refer to this post and this thread for the manual GPRS config guide.
If you have problems connecting to internet using ActiveSync connection, do refer to this post.
So anybody else have other internet or java related guides/tips/links to share? Post them here. :smile:

WOL is Sunnysoft World-Offline, which is another means to download and sync news for offline viewing. If you use AvantGo, you will need to login to the website and create a custom channel.
