What RSS Reader are you using?

Looking for a good looking, reliable rss reader. Please let me know what you suggest. Thanks!

EDIT: Results as of 8-8-8..until i typed that i didn't realize it.... (post 26)...

Newspanel - 1
PocketRSS - 1
Google Reader - 2
Beyond Pod - 3
Egress - 1
Spb Insight - 3
Newsbreak - 3
RSSHub - 1

8-8-8
I have been using BeyondPod for about a week. So far I like it, but it seems to use a lot of memory. After a soft reset, i have 20.1 MB free. Run Beyond Pod, listen to podcast, pause, now I am at 11.0 MB Free. I thought I'd miss the today screen, but I dont. It's not as 'fast' feeling as Egress was, but there have been zero lockups or other issues.

Still using beyondpod, but also trying viigo beta free from microsofts windows mobile site...which also has free texas holdem (online play even!) and others...

Re: What RSS Reader are you using?

Am currently using NewsPanel. There are some good discussions here in the Software Forum regarding readers. Run a search for them.

Coz

Works great since it's also what I read RSS feeds with on my PC and I don't need to import files or re-subscribe to stuff I'm already subscribed to.

Re: What RSS Reader are you using?

I've always been partial to Egress as my newsreader. I've always liked how it can synchronize with NewsGator and when you redirect to links it can use either squeezer or google's mobile compressor/formatter. Looks like he's just come out with a new version, I'm going to have to check it out.

Re: What RSS Reader are you using?

Thanks for the suggestions so far...

BTW...I did a search the pocket pc software forum for 'rss', but all I found was "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms." I also looked in the sticky titled "Commonly requested & popular software", there is no mention of rss.

Also...I have been a user of egress for years, but haven't had a lot of luck with it on my mogul pre 6.1. I just thought I'd check it again, and they have a beta preview of 4.0 right now that has some nice touch screen navigation features. It doesn't look as pretty as newspanel, but it is supported and the dev is asking for suggestions for new features.

*edit...nice timing desh!

Viigo is good...plus its free. I use Spb Insight because it supports RSS and Atom feeds.
