Docs on a handheld?

I remember about a year and a half ago we had a brief discussion of viewing Oracle docs on the Palm Pilot:

<http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&frame=right&th=c024d8efa205bf1&seekm=f8ed4ucnc4e5f1g9eh0c2mf0bdf9v36gbm%404ax.com#link5>

At the time, memory limitations, piddly screen size, and the need to convert from PDF or HTML into a native Palm format stood in the way.

Since then, screens have gotten bigger, memory size has increased and new models accept extra storage cards, there's an Acrobat reader for the Palm:

and I hear products like iSilo and Plucker mentioned for downloading and browsing sets of linked HTML pages.

Has anyone tried some combination of these with reasonable success?

John (currently Palm-less, which brought that thread back to mind)
