Alright folks,

I've been playing around with some RSS Readers for me mobile of late - I wondered if anyone else was aware of them and what your thoughts were..

What the HELL is RSS?! (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/help/3223484.stm)

I've been using one called Widsets (https://www.widsets.com/index)

But I've tried Litefeeds (http://www.litefeeds.com/) as well

And also Blue Pulse (http://www.bluepulse.com/) too..

Has anyone else tried any of these?
OR have you tried something different?

OR do have NO IDEA WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT?!

;)

Daft Question Time...

My SE K800 has got a RSS Reader built-in. Guess this is the same?

Never really used them before? Are they worth it on a mobile when you can just go like onto Today with 3 and find News and it appears anyways :confused:

Been using NewsGator on my Vario II. I like the way that I don't read the same things on my Mac, web & phone but it's a bit of a clunky interface. I do like the look of Litefeeds.

Dont know how it works with built-in RSS feeds.
All the software I've been researching... ahem.. sorry - USING.
All the software I've been using has had an online counter-part where you add your own RSS feeds...

Ooo...

Spyware = BAD.

The only PC one I kind of use is the one that sits in my Yahoo mailbox.
It does the job.

Yahoo has one in-built? I like the idea of that - I must admit I can see a use for this on my PC having everything in the one place it would save a hell of a lot of time trying to keep up with the news, developments etc.

Maybe its just me I dont really understand how much data it would transfer to see a use on my phone. I guess they would automatically update which would use data something I cant risk having a mega huge bill...

Anyways tell me more about the Yahoo one :D Can you get to this through normal yahoo mail?

Cheers!!!
