At the time I chose Soonr.com for my preference, but lately, SoonR's been unresponsive to support emails, and .sis files are no longer downloadable via mobile, which is what I mainly use it for. I had actually just re-downloaded the Avvenu .exe earlier today.
@barneyc - Ovi is the answer. As I understand it from the various Ovi presentations I've seen (Go Play, Nokia World, etc), the various internet-related things of Nokia are being grouped together and renamed as parts of Ovi. I.e. Twango was converted to Share on Ovi, Maps is being grouped in, as is N-Gage. Steve Litchfield noticed a 'Sync' a while back on AAS, so I'm sure we'll have a 'Sync on Ovi' soon. I would assume that Avvenu will become 'Files on Ovi' or something like that.
The difference, as I understand it, is that Ovi will be open to other things, not just Nokia. I.e. you can upload from any phone to Share on Ovi, whereas, as far as I've seen, you'll only be able to upload to MobileMe from an iPhone (in terms of mobile devices, obviously you could use a PC). Similar with Avvenu, you just access a web portal on your mobile, so you could use Avvenu on an N95 just as easily as you could on a RAZR or whatever else - though obviously the experience is optimized on the N95.
It all sounds very cool. If only they'd announce something like this first. Less people will then perceive what Nokia does as answers to Apple's moves. Pity. Sync on Ovi, Files on Ovi, bring it on! (in 2008 if it's possible)
Strange, it should work (and appear on Jaiku sometime tomorrow). The rss link is http://astroturfgarden.com/rss.xml and looks fine to me, although i don't know a ton about such things.

I'm hoping Sync on Ovi comes out soon. Does anybody know if Serena Glover oversees everything Ovi or just Share on Ovi? She started Twango by the way.

@bogart: There is something seriously wrong with your RSS feed, if it even exists.

Shame adoption is slowed by mobile data cost at the moment.
