Windows Phone Thoughts: New Versions of iSilo and iSiloX Available for Download

We normally don't post on "incremental" software updates, but the latest versions (version 3.35) of iSilo and iSiloX offer some pretty neat features. Firstly, iSilo now offers ClearType support. This makes an already-great document viewer even better. I use iSilo on a daily basis to keep up with all the blogs I read; being able to read all these blogs using ClearType makes for an infinitely pleasureable reading experience. (As a downside, I am now completely spoiled by ClearType and can barely stand to read my AvantGo docs on Pocket IE - it looks like an ant farm exploded on my screen.) They've also added an additional option for table layout, allowing you to further customize how your iSilo documents appear on your Pocket PC.

iSiloX is the free document converter for use with iSilo. They've added a number of new features, but two stand out: the ability to schedule web pages for conversion (once, daily, weekly, monthly, or "always"), and a feature that adds an icon to Internet Explorer for Windows that allows you to convert pages on the spot. I haven't yet tried out these new features of iSiloX, but I'm eager to know how they work. Anyone who has experience using the on-the-spot converter or the scheduler feature, please let us know what you think!
