Now you can PliNk! like a PC

WINDOWS CE POWER SITE OF THE MONTH

By Heather McDaniel

Have you ever wondered where to find a collection of links to view on your Windows CE device? The Windows CE Power Site of the Month for January is just that. It's a page made for use with AvantGo or your favorite handheld browser.

PliNk! is a collection of links that work well or are designed for viewing on a handheld device. Shown in Figure A, PliNk! is designed as a no-frills listing of those sites. You can view PliNK! by using a modem or wireless connection and AvantGo or a favorite handheld browser.

Never mind what the site does, how did they come up with PliNk! as a name? According to the site, the name PliNk! comes from "plinking" something with your finger. Best of all, PliNk!, at http://plink.cjb.net, is free!
