Sometime I do prefer new tech.
Some of my friends have been wondering what I am reading on my Nokia E51. It's this thing called Avantgo. It's a series of free (yes, free!) "newspapers" that I read on my mobile phone. And when I realize I have been flipping less of my regular good old BT, I decided it was time to "let go" and :-) save $20+ every month on BT Subscription.

And when I realize I have been flipping less of my regular good old BT, I decided it was time to "let go" and :-) save $20+ every month on BT Subscription.
On my Avantgo, I have selected 11 sources of news channels (Bloomberg, CNN, CLSA, Motley Fool etc) that I sync every day (on some days even up to 10 times a day) for the news updates. Sync-ing can even be done at Wireless @ SG hotspots at various locations. Effectively, I bring with me 11 sets of "newspapers" everywhere I go. I would read them on the train rides (without needing the space to stretch from shoulder-to-shoulder), in toilets, in between meetings and waiting times and so on.
However, I do miss the feel and sounds of flipping through the good old-fashioned papers sometime.
Avantgo is available free from
www.avantgo.com and can be used on most mobile phones and PDAs. Simply register an account which is free (and Avantgo does not spam at all!). Other materials available via Avantgo: Cars, Wines, Entertainment news etc.
Enjoy!
