Aximsitex50icon Automatic updater for PPC?

Hi all,

I'm not sure something like this exists, so that's why I'm asking...

I recently realized that I've got lots of programs installed on my PDA (note to self: update My PDA section), and it can be a pain to try and stay on top of all the updates that come out for them. Is there a program available that will check for updates every time I sync my PDA and notify me when new ones are available?

Phillip

That would be nice. But every single company that makes ppc programs would have to compromise on a way of updating programs. It will probably never happen, but would be nice.

Hmmm...I was thinking that a site like handango.com could be a good place to check for updates, so that program looks interesting.

The only problem I might have is the issues people have been having with Handango recently with their download protection. But, if all I'd be doing is checking it for updates, I suppose that wouldn't matter much.

Is there a similar program for other sites like PocketGear?

Handango has an option you can select to watch up to ten titles in your account. It will then send you an email if one of those titles gets updated.
