I'd like to sync my feeds with my PocketPC...any way to do that? And by "sync" I don't neccessarily mean that the PocketPC would show an article READ and then pass that info on resync to the PC so that Newgator online and Outlook all know the article has been read as well.
At the moment, I'd just like to be able to read my feeds on my PocketPC.
Also, am I blind? I don't see a way to SEARCH these forums?...
Thanks...

Re: Searching forums
If you're using Firefox, then there are a few issues with these forums, with Search being one of them. Instead of the search box appearing as a drop down, it opens a search box at the very bottom of the page when you click on it, if it does anything at all (when I try it from this Post Reply window, nothing happens, for instance).

I'm using Firefox...I don't see a search box of any kind...plus, when I "quote", as I'm doing now, I don't see the quote in this message, but the quote appears after I post...I thought this was strange, but now I know it must be Firefox.
OK...use the Mobile Edition...I thought I looked at that alreay and I didn't see a way to transfer the feeds to my PocketPC...isn't the Mobile Edition just a web site made for any gizmo that can read HTML?
Well how am I supposed to get that web site into my PocketPC?

when you set up the mobile edition, you'll be asked to give a PIN. Once you enter that PIN, a customized URL will appear - just copy that URL into your PocketPC's internet browser just like any other URL (and bookmark once you've entered it, 'cause it's not a small URL  ).

OK...well...what I need to have happen is for the entire feed to transfer into the PocketPC because I'm almost always in a place where I do not have wireless internet access for the PocketPC.
I assume the URL you mention is just a link to a web page where my feeds are in a "mobile" format more suitable for viewing on a small device?
Is there anyway to get the complete feed into the PocketPC? Kinda like AvantGo where complete news stories and such are transfered to the PocketPC via ActiveSync?
Thanks...

The problem with RSS is that the feeds only contain what the authors want it to. (That's funnier than I meant it to be. )
Aggregators only show the feed content, not the articles that are linked. If a feed only has a teaser, then that's all you'll see.
You're correct about what Mobile Edition does, too. You can see what it will look like by copying the personalized URL into your web browser. It's just a web page with all the fancy stuff stripped out.
