Mazingo Calls it Quits

Mazingo arrived on the scene shortly after AvantGo. When AvantGo began to more aggressively persue fees from websites using their service to provide content to mobile users, Mazingo offered a much more economical approach. Mazingo also offered additional content types including videos.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the adult content fiasco (http://discussion.brighthand.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=87444).

Maybe now is the time to panic. :D

Seriously, why not just use Pocket IE to visit the comics' Web sites? It won't be as convenient as synchronizing them all at once, but it's not that hard.

My browser home page is a big links page, including several comics and humor sites that I visit each day.

I'm going to look for that start page hack right now. I know it's in here somewhere.
