Great news is upon us! The NewsGator Go! 1.5 beta is now public. For the full scoop, take a look at developer Kevin Cawley's blog post.

Download the beta

Things to note:

  1. At a minimum you will need the .NET compact Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2 (it has to be SP 2 or better)
  2. If you are using Windows Vista, you will need to install using the CAB files (either copy the CAB over to your device or fetch from your device browser). There is an issue with the desktop installer on Vista.
  3. Post feedback and bug reports to the Go! Beta Forum.
