Palm and Windows CE users can now catch-up with the latest cotton and
cottonseed estimates while on the move. Using free software, you can
download Cottonseed.com—Mobile edition when you
synchronize your handheld computer. Step One: Go to www.AvantGo.com
to download the software. (If you already have AvantGo software installed,
go to step 2 below.) The process should take only a few minutes. AvantGo
provides software for your handheld computer, and a small Windows utility
to manage the channels you subscribe to, which is installed on your
computer during the sign-up process.
Step Two: Create a new channel called “Cottonseed.com—Mobile
edition” with the url (web address) of
http://www.cottonseed.com/mobile/ to get content designed for your
palmtop. Channel size and refresh can be left at their default settings.
Right now, the forecasts for cottonseed supply and demand for the past two
years are available, as well as USDA’s latest state-by-state cotton
production estimate. “Snyc” at least weekly to maintain the most
current data.
