It wins hands down for me, for several reasons:

1. I use Bloglines as my main aggregator for 500+ feeds. Bloglines mobile lets me access them, and keeps my read state in sync.

2. Browser based - no need to install anything. If your mobile device (Treo, Smartphone, Blackberry, etc.) has a web browser, it will work. No compatibility worries.

3. RSS feeds flow/format to fit the small screen perfectly. No horizontal scrolling.

2) a single aggregating source, I'd been frustrated with having 3 rss readers (work home mobile), all out of sync, none knowing which posts I'd read on a different reader

That sounded like a cheesy add, but it's really that good.

I used to use Avantgo and found it painfull to bother with]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/07/07/ask-engadget-best-mobile-rss-readers/http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/07/ask-engadget-best-mobile-rss-readers/I use PocketRSS for the PocketPC, it's a little buggy but does really well at downloading the whole site linked to in news feeds and caching it.

Good podcasting support as well.

They have a complimentary browser based FeedReader as well that is very slick.

More on topic, I give another vote for Bloglines, for consistency between browsers

They provide a custom mobile RSS reader for any Java phone, Blackberry, Palm or PocketPC that synchronizes with your online subscriptions.
Just import your OPML to the website and choose which feeds you want mobile enabled. All configuration (adding,organizing etc) is done online so you never have to type anything on your mobile device. Just scan and click your feeds on your mobile with ease.

Feeds are cached, compressed, and stripped so that they are mobile optimized. They have features such as: viewing full text articles (not just RSS), viewing Flickr/Buzznet images, and the ability to clip articles to your online clipboard and share it as an RSS feed.

And best of all its FREE

I liked Headline (http://www.wildpalm.co.uk/HeadLine.html) a lot, but I couldn't get it to work with my current provider's crippled connection (limited/proxied :80 or :8080). (If anyone knows a workaround for that, I'd be very interested...)

I did a lot of experimenting w/ java readers that wouldn't work on my phone (RSSReader, litefeeds -- don't know if it's the connection or my version 1 java).

FreeNews (http://www.freerangeinc.com/) is the replacement I came up with, and it connects flawlessly. I've been very happy with it--it's a good-looking java app with very easy navigation between items.

and I am very happy with it. Started scanning mobile feeds on my commute and waiting in line etc... now I perfer it for all my scanning.

Litefeeds mobile is fast and simple and all config is done online. The full text and photo features are pretty neat. Also provide a very clean and fast online reader similar to Bloglines, but I find LiteFeeds is simpler and quicker.

Hands down the best. Free, very quick, compressed so almost no data cost, and simple.
First complete solution Ive found. Online reader + custom mobile reader.

Lately, however, I have been totally sold on bloglines for both desktop and mobile because the most important thing is sync state. And the more news you monitor, the more important it becomes.

I am doomed when the inevitable fees start, because I am truly addicted...

Bloglines mobile is ok but WAP is pretty lame and limited in features. The good thing about Litefeeds is I can view Flickr images and get the full text article of any web page .... something that you can't do with Bloglines.

Especially their buzznet image service, which is wickied. Serveral of my friends usually take photos from their cellphone cameras and upload to buzznet accounts.

After a while, I can see their image posting on my devices.

I like it. If you have Pocket PC and Blackberry, I highly recommend you try it out.
