New AvantGO replacement for MacOS X

The thread killer
I just got a Sony Clie NX60 and have been hit with a double wammy. Not only can I not sync with my mac until I get add-on software but I can't use avantgo under 10.2.1

I found a nice little replacement called iSiloX. I went to cliesource.com and found some guys who posted some alternate sites to avantgo that you can use iSiloX with. It will download the channels for you and turn them into pdb files that you can read on your next sync.

If you don't like iSiloX someone also mentioned using another app called Plunker.

Keep in mind that these are offline readers and don't DO what avantgo does. They are not automated like avantgo -but- you can still set up batch jobs to download HTML sites to read on your PDA later with these apps. With a few extra steps they can act as good replacedments for AvantGO

I have listed the links below...

It is not as easy as avantgo but it's a step in the right direction.
 
Has anyone here had a chance to try either of these yet. I'm trying to decide what I should use on my new CLIE that is arriving this week.
